How are you making the lights? Can you paste the code?

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Browsing through the code this sounds like a reasonable answer, but unfortunately I'm not sure of how to answer your question of what ID I am using. For the TE system you don't pass in any sort of ID when you create a dynamic light, nor do I see an obvious place within the object hierarchy to go about modifying this ID even if I wanted to. As far as I can tell there's not even an entindex in the basetempentity hierarchy - at least, there's no obvious way to retrieve it like in normal entities. Is there another system that I should perhaps be using instead of tempent? Or am I just not understanding a simple principle of the system?
