Someone asked about this on another forum and as far as I researched / know, this information isn't available anywhere else on the internet so wanted to share!

Light Corona

There isn't a context menu item nor entity available, so you'll have to hackily drop a placeholder entity in Radiant and change the classname OR you can follow the section after this on how to modify Radiant to have an easy to place version in your context menu.

For this tutorial, you can drop in a info_null and open the Entity Window (N by Default) and change the classname to info_corona

Key Value
classname "info_corona"
Radius Radius of the corona.
Color Sets the color of the corona. The biggest value gets scaled to 1; this means that 0.1 0.1 0.1 is the same as 1 1 1.
Intensity Controls how bright a corona is. A value of 1.0 is fullbright; smaller values are dimmer.

Compile your map, link, and launch it. No scripting or FX placement required!

Radiant Context Menu

You can add the info_corona to the context menu if you wish to make this process easier.

Find your codwaw.def definition file in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty World at War\bin\ and open it in a text editor.

Note:You might have to make it a writeable file.

Add the following into the definition file:


Then you should be able to restart Radiant and right click in the 2D grid to drop in a info_corona, which will have the default KVPs setup for you already.

Example Setup

Here is a prefab example of a lantern with a light and corona:http://www.alexromo.com/files/CoDWaW/light_corona_example.map
