Summary	0006328: Changing some console variables will light up the lightgem
Description	Enabling the follwoing in the console will light up the lightgem a lot or a little: * 'r_showtris 2' (a lot) (This setting is frequently used by mappers to verify visportals and troubleshoot performance.) * 'g_showEntityInfo 1' (a little) * 'g_showTargets 1' (a little) * 'r_showtris 1' (a little) * 'r_showtris 3' (a little) * 'r_showLightCount 1' (a lot) For 'r_showtris 2', when the light gem lights up, guards see you and start chasing you which interrupts testing. It's basically just annoying. Is there a reason it does this? You can set 'notarget ON' as a workaround but that shouldn't be necessary.
Steps To Reproduce	* Start any FM and open the console. Type 'r_showtris 2' and observe the light gem. * The lightgem brightens a lot (unexpected) * If you do it with a guard nearby they will see you and attack. * Set r_showtris to 1 or 3 and observe the light gem darken.

Fiver 03.01.2024 15:06 reporter ~0016318	Updated issue description to also list Frost_Salamander's examples in comment, and added 'r_showtris 1', 'r_showtris 3', and 'r_showLightCount 1'. Changed issue summary (title) to more generic. The issue is still present in TDM 2.12/64 #10584 (beta212-01).
