dlight spawning works. Instead of creating a func_dlight I tacked it onto func_wall to get brushes with the light.

:wink: Thanks for the tute, it inspired me to try csqc! I'm a big cut-and-paster from way back.

Source compiled w/o error. Looks like #DEFINE CSQC 1 should be uncommented in first line of system.qc

I bound "testmenu" to a key and the menu popped up, but was not able to mouse-over. I'll reread that ...
