Lighting on ENTITIES - 09/11/11 23:00
Is it possible for an ENTITY* object to have lighting? By ENTITY* object I mean:
I'd like to use this to display a gun in front of the screen. Thanks!

As in, is it possible for a view entity to be affected by nearby lighting/the sun, rather than being a fullbright entity?

No, view entities are only available in camera space, not in world space. You can have view entities without a level, too (see manual).
As a result, they are not affected by any light source in your level. Have a look at the ZNEAR flag, instead.

Alright, thanks. The only reason I wanted to use view entities is because I could move the gun around much easier if it was just stuck to the screen.

As far as I know, view entities are affected by sun light only.
