I have a map that is a 3-d skybox and im wondering how do i make my map dark. Like it is night time.

if the skybox you made works properly, go to map > map properties in hammer. click where it says "skybox texture name" on the dialog box that comes up, and type the name of the sky you want to use. there isnt really a big selection of night time skyboxes, but the closest one ive found goes by the name of "sky_borealis01". see if you like that one, cause thats probably as close as you can get to night time using valve's materials. Dont ask me how to create custom skyboxes. I dont friggin know.
