Detailed Description

Lighting object that radiates light in all directions.

PointLight is one of the two types of lighting objects that can be added to a Torque 3D level, the other being SpotLight. Unlike directional or conical light, the PointLight emits lighting in all directions. The attenuation is controlled by a single variable: LightObject::radius.

Example:

// Declaration of a point light in script, or created by World Editor
new PointLight(CrystalLight)
{
   radius = "10";
   isEnabled = "1";
   color = "1 0.905882 0 1";
   brightness = "0.5";
   castShadows = "1";
   priority = "1";
   animate = "1";
   animationType = "SubtlePulseLightAnim";
   animationPeriod = "3";
   animationPhase = "3";
   flareScale = "1";
   attenuationRatio = "0 1 1";
   shadowType = "DualParaboloidSinglePass";
   texSize = "512";
   overDarkFactor = "2000 1000 500 100";
   shadowDistance = "400";
   shadowSoftness = "0.15";
   numSplits = "1";
   logWeight = "0.91";
   fadeStartDistance = "0";
   lastSplitTerrainOnly = "0";
   splitFadeDistances = "10 20 30 40";
   representedInLightmap = "0";
   shadowDarkenColor = "0 0 0 -1";
   includeLightmappedGeometryInShadow = "1";
   position = "-61.3866 1.69186 5.1464";
   rotation = "1 0 0 0";
};
