Summary	0003760: Let def_attach entity lights be toggled by a trigger
Description	Combined entity lights don't all work the same. Those with no particle effect can be toggled on and off by a trigger. Those that use particles can't and mappers have to resort to faking fire/water stims.
Additional Information	Problem statement by RJFerret in this post: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/16351-shadow-lights-on-combined-entity-lights/page__view__findpost__p__348335 Amended script object provided by Obssttorte in this post: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/16351-shadow-lights-on-combined-entity-lights/page__view__findpost__p__348344 Amended script adds a trigger response to the entity at spawn time. To do: check that double-calling of LightsOn() and LightsOff() won't cause problems for non-particle lights which will call it both as a response to the trigger and as a side-effect of idLight::On and Off. It should be ok... those methods already get called more than once in some situations.

SteveL 21.06.2014 11:52 reporter ~0006680	Checked with 40 entity lights in a test map, sampled from all categories both moveable and not. Works as expected except for a couple of lights that don't use tdm_light_holder script, which don't respond, but they can simply have it added to their def later if needed. Committed in rev 13884
