DynamicLight

Description

Structure for DynamicLight. All members are case insensitive.

This is an actual class named dlight_t, not a table.

Parameters

number brightness
The brightness of the light.
number decay
Fade out speed. Here's a formula for calculating Decay for your light: 1000 / fadeOutTimeInSeconds. For example setting decay to 1000 would fade out the light in 1 second, 2000 - 0.5 seconds.
number dietime
Time after which light will be removed.

This is relative to CurTime. If you put in a value that is less than or equal to CurTime, the light will not behave properly.

Note, that it does not affect fading out. Light will be removed regardless of it being fully faded out or not.

Vector dir
The light direction. Used with InnerAngle and OuterAngle.

Default: Vector( 0, 0, 0 )

number innerangle
The closer this is to zero, the smoother the light will be. Requires Dir and OuterAngle to be set.

Default: 0

number outerangle
The angle of the Dynamic Light. Requires Dir to be set.

Default: 0

number key
Makes the light brighter and flicker? Changing the value does not seem to affect anything.
number minlight

Default: 0

boolean noworld
