Light.intensity

Switch to Manual

public var intensity: float;

Description

The Intensity of a light is multiplied with the Light color.

The value can be between 0 and 8. This allows you to create over bright lights.

// Pulse light's intensity over time.
var duration : float= 1.0;

var lt: Light;


function Start() {
	lt = GetComponent.<Light>();
}


function Update() {
	// Argument for cosine.
	var phi: float = Time.time / duration * 2 * Mathf.PI;
	
	// Get cosine and transform from -1..1 to 0..1 range.
	var amplitude: float = Mathf.Cos(phi) * 0.5 + 0.5;
	
	// Set light color.
	lt.intensity = amplitude;
}
