Light

Description

Script interface for light components.

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 ExampleClass : 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 ExampleClass(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)
