Advanced Light Entities Module

A simple edit to remove all entities from the selection except for "expensive_light_new" and "projected_light_new" entities, and disallows spawns from spawnmenu. The purpose of this mod is to allow these entities to be easily used for other mods, and my own projected texture mods. These entities do not collide with bullets or entities. I should also say that THIS DOES NOT WORK ON ITS OWN, A MOD HAS TO UTILIZE IT.

I do not own the code, all I did was edit it- credit goes to tau. I will take this down if the original creator requests it.

Original Addon: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=493751477&searchtext=advanced+

This also conflicts with the original addon.

If you want more shadows for light entities at once, go to Garry's Mod properties and go to General, and set launch options at the bottom; then add this:
-numshadowtextures <number>

List of ConVars:

Projected_light_new_distance (VALUE) - Sets distance until this entity turns itself off from player
Projected_light_new_max (VALUE) - Sets max amount of this entity until no more can be spawned
Projected_light_new_lightlevel (VALUE) - Sets the lightlevel where the entity will turn off
Projected_light_new_filter (VALUE) - Sets the entity's filter

Expensive_light_new_distance (VALUE) - Sets distance until this entity turns itself off from player
Expensive_light_new_max (VALUE) - Sets max amount of this entity until no more can be spawned
Expensive_light_new_lightlevel (VALUE) - Sets the lightlevel where the entity will turn off
Expensive_light_new_filter (VALUE) - Sets the entity's filter

Expensive/Projected_light_new_max ConVar takes all the entities on the map, whether on or off, so increase the value if lights do not show up.
