Yeah I checked out light_omni2, but I figured it would be simpler for a beginner to use just the “light_omni”, I’ll go over “light_omni2” when I do a more advanced lighting tutorial.

You could try resizing the windows

Thats not a mapping thing, you change your weapons in your loadout on the main menu

@@CSJxlp Thank you for your answer but I meant like how can I give players a specific weapon at the beginning of the round? like knife only or like spawning specific weapons in some places so players can pick them up. For example, when a player enters a place, a desert eagle will spawn on the ground. (Yes, i can use server command to give weapons to players but I want them to be spawned on the ground) I am sure you know the map called "aim_redline". Maybe like on that map, How can I spawn weapons on the ground? There is some videos for older version of hammer on youtube but it is different on the new one. I really appreciate all the videos you have shared so far. I hope you will make more videos about Source 2 in the near future. I am trying to learn hammer completely. Your videos helps a lot. I hope there will be more to come. (English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistakes ❤)

Ah I see what you mean, I'm not sure how to do that in source 2 but I'll let you know when I find out

Some lights may be different, but I’m not too sure you should try asking in the siurce engine discord

Idk try reinstalling ig

Me too. Can't find it!

There should be certain ways around this

Might be an issue with a block in the level or maybe you’re missing an entity

I think if the light isn’t realtime then it wont affect the player

@@CSJxlp yeah, that was exactly my problem. But i found the solution right after i wrote my comment. Thanks for the time you took to read and reply though :)

Check the lighting colour in the sky section

I checked the "sky" section of the light environment entity and changed the "Sky Color" to a blue, I assume this is what you meant by your response. It's still black. When I'm in the editor and select "3d Indirect Only" in my camera to preview the lighting it is pitch black. I just want some indirect lighting lollll@@CSJxlp

It's weird cuz when I select direct light only it DOES show shadows that have some color in them but when i go to load the map the shadows are suddenly pitch black@@CSJxlp

@TokenYT oh strange, maybe just switch to fullbright, not entirely sure, maybe try re-adding the lighting, maybe its just a bug

I've had the same problem i think, Basically when I'm testing the map out, the shadows make things like weapon models and smoke grenades completely black, but the map itself looks fine. It seems to only be shadoes cast onto objects that are pitch black... any idea why?@@CSJxlp

Once I figure out how to do it in source 2 I’ll make a video on it

i think it and spot have been removed and got replaced with barn door and omni2.

Might be under a different name
