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
	var lightComp = lightGameObject.AddComponent.<Light>();

	// Set color and position
	lightComp.color = Color.blue;

	// Set the position (or any transform property)
	lightGameObject.transform.position = Vector3(0, 5, 0);
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start() {
        GameObject lightGameObject = new GameObject("The Light");
        Light lightComp = lightGameObject.AddComponent<Light>();
        lightComp.color = Color.blue;
        lightGameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 5, 0);
    }
}
