light goes through door?
I have a door on a house and light just goes straight through it and into the house so there is a random block of light on the wall. How do i make it so the light does not go throught the door? would i have to put something infront of the door that a player can clip through? or something like that??? =D

SDK doesn't have dynamic lighting. you have to choose between light going through all the time or none of the time(block light texture).

by doing that, wouldnt the door have a weird texture then?? and not look like a door

that is correct. you have to design your level in such a way that works around the lighting limitation. sometimes i will give the light entity a name and then turn it off when the door is closed, and then turn it on when the door is opened. but lights with names make your map file size larger, and might cause problems later on in development.
