Need help with lighting

Posted May 10, 2012
I worked my way through hammer and so far my knowledge is still incomplete. As such, I am unable to find a way to light a dynamic prop. I tried adding a light pointing at this prop but it failed.The animation plays fine, but it stays completely dark. What must I do in order to get lit by ambient light, or any light at all?

use an info_lighting and put it near a light entity, and use the name for the parameter, lighting origin, in the prop_dynamic

I tried using info_lighting but it didn't help. I may have done something wrong, though.

The panel is at the back of a long un-lit tunnel when the map compiles. That is your problem.
