Hey guys,

A friend is making a map and during the compilation, at light phase, he has this warning:

WARNING: light at ({some x y z loc i guess}) has missing target

It's only a warning, the map is compiling. But in game, some rooms have their lighting fucked up..

We can't find any solution on the web. Do you know how to solve this?

Thanks for your help!

The only case I see where a light would need a target is if the light is a spotlight. Your friend probably did set a target key for the lights, setting them as spotlights and forgot to specify where they should point to (usually an info_null entity where the targetname is the name you specified in the target key of the light).

If he wants the lights to act as point lights (casting light in all directions) he has to delete the target key he set for the lights.

Yeah, you are right! Some light entities has a target key/value. It's a mistake, he will remove them. Thanks mate!
