So this map i made has a section in complete darkness with water on the floor, but for some reason the water is fully lit. Odd. is this just in the nature of hammer, or is there something i am overlooking?

I have a feeling its a lot easier than what i am trying to do.

edan, i choose you!

Could be a quirk of hlrad. Try with varying lightlevels, see if it makes a difference.

Don't choose me 'cause I have no idea. Water cannot contain volumetric light, so I don't know. Could it be that on part of the water is exposed to light directly? Water does conduct light...

yeah, im pretty sure there is no light anywhere near it...

probably just the nature of the engine.

i always make my func_water addative and it always seems glowing, maybe it wont light up on solid?

otherwise, you could try using a very dark water texture, or texture the floor below the water black
