Questions And Answers:

Why is a melee weapon creating light?
Did you know that most melee weapons actually fire bullets? It's true, usually they don't make a custom damage system and just use bullets.

Why does the addon have a realism tag?
When used under the right circumstances, this addon can add a good amount of realism to the game.

Why am I getting errors?
If you ever get an error, you can send it in the comments, and I'll fix what I can, thanks!

Yea... Hopefully the addon icon is enough of a warning. :steamthumbsup::steamhappy:

Some maps may have metal textures but not actual be a metal material, which is why I've decided that adding such a feature isn't worth it. :steamsad:

can you make for only metal?

Can you make an option for it to only work on metal surfaces

Yea it's a game issue, I believe this issue even exists in Half Life 1.

im refering to static props on the map, is it really just a game issue?

Unfortunately that's how Garry's Mod lighting works, and it is most common with dynamic-lights, which this addon uses.

ive been having this issue where if any light reaches a prop or object, the entire object becomes brighter, does anyone know how to fix it?

You are correct, however when this addon is used under the right circumstances, it can add a good amount of realism.
