There's any way to block light casting except blocklight texture?

[Dexter1272]

Hello I'm making rats map and I wanna do lighting for my keyboard. I made texture to emit light but I don't wanna this light on walls as I checked on screen

I tried to use blocklight texture but my keys will be black on top. I just wanna to have light under keys and nothing else. Lowering brightness in .rad file looks ugly :/ Have you any ideas how to solve this problem?

Turn down the strength of the light. Maybe you can use the lights.rad file?

Alternatively, use selfillum instead of emit.

You want light under the keys, well i would use $selfillum instead. The gradients can be made with selfillumination aswell. Also if you really want real lights to me emitted, forget about rad, then you can (still using selfillum) place some lights with maximum distance set just outside the keys so it wont light on the wall.

It's impossible to edit. The only 2 ways to limit the light are:
1 - cast maximum limit
2 - brush with block light texture

Seems like an interesting map, i'd like to see it finished. What game is it for?

The little tip is from Gmod that's for sure, it must be the one telling you that Q opens the spawn menu.

Hello I'm making rats map

If I were to guess it's probably a gamemode where you're very small, in fact, after a quick google search:

It is a type of map where the player is very small

It will be puzzle map for Garry's Mod. Another part of my old CIRATS maps, you can one of them download here:
