Use this to control all aspects of Unity's lights. The properties are an exact match for the
values shown in the Inspector.
Usually lights are just created in the editor but sometimes you want to create a light from a script:
function Start () {
// Make a game object
var lightGameObject : GameObject = new GameObject("The Light"); // Add the light component
lightGameObject.AddComponent(Light); // Set color and position
lightGameObject.light.color = Color.blue; // Set the position (or any transform property) after
// adding the light component.
lightGameObject.transform.position = Vector3(0, 5, 0);
}
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour {
void Start() {
GameObject lightGameObject = new GameObject("The Light");
lightGameObject.AddComponent<Light>();
lightGameObject.light.color = Color.blue;
lightGameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 5, 0);
}
}
import UnityEngine
import System.Collections
public class Example(MonoBehaviour):
def Start() as void:
lightGameObject as GameObject = GameObject('The Light')
lightGameObject.AddComponent[of Light]()
lightGameObject.light.color = Color.blue
lightGameObject.transform.position = Vector3(0, 5, 0)
