A_AttachLightDef

Attaches a dynamic light defined in GLDEFS to the calling actor.

Contrast to A_AttachLight which allows you to define, finely tune and control the light spawned, this function can be useful if you have a pre-existing definition you want to reuse multiple times.

Can be removed with A_RemoveLight.
