Lights

Light actor functions. Create a light with CreateLightActor().

Function LightIsCastingShadow(actor): Returns true if shadow casting is enabled for the given light.

SetLightShadowCast()

Function GetLightType(actor)

Returns the type of light.

Returns -1 if it does not have a type (ie. its not a light)

Possible Light Types:

LIGHT_TYPE_POINT
LIGHT_TYPE_DIRECTIONAL
LIGHT_TYPE_SPOT

Function GetLightRadius(actor): Returns the radius of the light

Sub SetLightType(actor, light_type)

Sets the type of light.

Possible Light Types:

LIGHT_TYPE_POINT
LIGHT_TYPE_DIRECTIONAL
LIGHT_TYPE_SPOT

Sub SetLightAmbientColor(actor, color): Sets the ambient color for a light

Function GetLightAmbientColor(actor): Returns the ambient color of a light

Sub SetLightAttenuation(actor, l_constant, l_linear, l_quadratic): Sets the light strength fading over distance. Overrident by setting radius.

Sub GetLightAttenuation(actor, ByRef constant, ByRef linear, ByRef quadratic): Gets the strength of the light

Sub SetLightDiffuseColor(actor, color): Sets a light’s diffuse color

Function GetLightDiffuseColor(actor): Returns the diffuse color of the light

Sub SetLightFalloff(actor, falloff)

Sets the strength decrease between the inner and outer cone of a light.

Note: Only applies to spot lights

Sub SetLightInnerCone(actor, angle): Sets the inner cone of a spot light

Sub SetLightOuterCone(actor, angle): Sets the outer cone of a spot light

Function GetLightOuterCone(actor): Returns the outer cone of a spot light

Sub SetLightSpecularColor(actor, color): Sets the specular color of a light

Function GetLightSpecularColor(actor): Returns the specular color of a light
