| This method is called for each component of each entity before the client renders the next frame. More... | |
This component adds a radiosity point light source to its entity.
Radiosity lights are preprocessed and their effects are baked into lightmaps. Consequently, radiosity lights are static, and script-updating them at run-time has no effect. However, their results look very natural and their performance at run-time is very good.
Note that the variables of this class (also referred to as "Public Attributes" or "Member Data") must be used with the get() and set() methods at this time – see get() and set() for details.
If you would like to create a new component of this type explicitly (those defined in the CaWE Map Editor are instantiated automatically), use WorldT::new():
| tuple Color |
The color of the emitted light.
Vector3fT | number ConeAngle |
The size of the cone in which light is emitted (in degrees; use 360.0 for a spherical light).
float | number Intensity |
The intensity (per color-component) of the light source in watt per steradian (W/sr).
