Lights

Primary Lights
First create a normal light as explained above. Then in the entity editor "n" click on the check box for PRIMARY_OMNI.
* For any primary light we need a null entity connected to the light to tell the game what direction to cast shadows in.
Right click on the grid and go to "info -> null". Place this under your light. Connect the light to the null entity.
