Im experimenting with different lightstyles in my quake3 maps, it´s very neet that q3map2 makes it possible. My problem is that i can´t see the difference between the different styles, they all look the same to me.
Is there a guide or something on how to use the style flag? and is it possible to have triggable lights in quake3?

The rgbGen and alphaGen for each style has to be explicitly specified in worldspawn key/value pairs. See the example style maps for details.
If no style rgbGen/alphaGen keys are found, then it uses the default semi-random flicker for every style.
As for triggerable lights, I originally thought it wouldn’t be possible. Then I remembered the vertex swap trick that TA introduced (and we exploited in ET).
It would be possible to rig up a triggerable light or some other kind of trigger_multiple that would fire a ton of shader remaps, if you wanted to have triggerable lightstyles.
