Lighting Bug

[MaRiNe [Q2C]]

So I've been working on a new Q2 SP level that is close to completion and I'm now ironing out the details.

One thing that bugs me that I can't seem to fix is the following lighting "effect" that sometimes occurs when I have a light source slightly sticking out:



How do I prevent this from happening? I imagine it's related to the player clip brushes I have on either side, but I need those in the level:

Thank you in advance! I use Trenchbroom v2.0, QBSP3, QVIS3 and QRAD3.

Did you try stretching the clip brush horizontally as well as vertically away from the light?

[MaRiNe [Q2C]]

Yeah, I tried that out too. I even tried out to have it be just a single clip texture as opposed to one on each side.

I can get rid of the problem if I make the texture itself a light source as opposed to adding a light entity in front of it, but I really want to use colored lighting for that area, so I guess I'll have to tolerate it.

Just make the light brush flush with the pillar brush. I've done that a lot with no problems or if the pillar isn't something touching the void then make it a func_wall and then you won't have the problem.
