Detailed Description

Lighting object which emits conical light in a direction.

SpotLight is one of the two types of lighting objects that can be added to a Torque 3D level, the other being PointLight. Unlike directional or point lights, the SpotLights emits lighting in a specific direction within a cone. The distance of the cone is controlled by the SpotLight::range variable.

Example:

// Declaration of a point light in script, or created by World Editor
new SpotLight(SampleSpotLight)
{
   range = "10";
   innerAngle = "40";
   outerAngle = "45";
   isEnabled = "1";
   color = "1 1 1 1";
   brightness = "1";
