Inheritance diagram

__init__(name: str) → None¶

clearSpecularColor() → None¶: Clears a custom specular color setting, meaning that the specular color will now come from the color.

property direction¶

Getter: Returns the direction in which the light is aimed. This is local to the coordinate space in which the light is assigned.
Setter: Sets the direction in which the light is aimed.

Return type: LVector3

static getClassType() → TypeHandle¶

Return type: TypeHandle

getDirection() → LVector3¶

Returns the direction in which the light is aimed. This is local to the coordinate space in which the light is assigned.

Return type: LVector3

getPoint() → LPoint3¶

Returns the point in space at which the light is located. This is local to the coordinate space in which the light is assigned.

This actually has no bearing on the visual effect of the light, since the light is rendered as if it were infinitely far away. This is only used to create a visible representation of the light.

Return type: LPoint3

property point¶

Getter

Returns the point in space at which the light is located. This is local to the coordinate space in which the light is assigned.

This actually has no bearing on the visual effect of the light, since the light is rendered as if it were infinitely far away. This is only used to create a visible representation of the light.

Setter

Sets the point in space at which the light is located.

Return type: LPoint3

setDirection(direction: LVector3) → None¶: Sets the direction in which the light is aimed.

setPoint(point: LPoint3) → None¶: Sets the point in space at which the light is located.

setSpecularColor(color: LColor) → None¶: Sets the color of specular highlights generated by the light.

property specular_color¶

Getter: Returns the color of specular highlights generated by the light. This is usually the same as get_color().
Setter: Sets the color of specular highlights generated by the light.

Return type: LColor
