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";
   castShadows = "0";
   priority = "1";
   animate = "1";
   animationPeriod = "1";
   animationPhase = "1";
   flareType = "LightFlareExample0";
   flareScale = "1";
   attenuationRatio = "0 1 1";
   shadowType = "Spot";
   texSize = "512";
   overDarkFactor = "2000 1000 500 100";
   shadowDistance = "400";
   shadowSoftness = "0.15";
   numSplits = "1";
   logWeight = "0.91";
   fadeStartDistance = "0";
   lastSplitTerrainOnly = "0";
   representedInLightmap = "0";
   shadowDarkenColor = "0 0 0 -1";
   includeLightmappedGeometryInShadow = "0";
   position = "-29.4362 -5.86289 5.58602";
   rotation = "1 0 0 0";
};
