Light¶

A Light represents a Lighting source. Nanos World provides 3 types of lights: Spot, Point and Rect. All lights are Dynamic and because of that, very expensive! Keep that in mind before spawning 1000 lights ;).

Usage¶

local MyLight = Light(
    Vector(-152, 245, 115),
    Rotator(0, 90, 90), -- Relevant only for Rect and Spot light types
    Color(1, 0, 0), -- Red Tint
    0, -- Point Light type
    100, -- Intensity
    250, -- Attenuation Radius
    0, -- Cone Angle (Relevant only for Spot light type)
            0, -- Max Draw Distance (Good for performance - 0 for infinite)
            true, -- Whether to use physically based inverse squared distance falloff, where Attenuation Radius is only clamping the light's contribution. (Spot and Point types only)
    true, -- Cast Shadows?
    true -- Enabled?
)

Functions¶

Functions (Inherited from Actor)¶

	Returns	Name	Description
		AddImpulse(Vector Force)	Applies a Force in world coordinate on this Actor (the force is applied on Client side, by the (in most of cases) the closest player of this object)
		AttachTo(Actor Other, string BoneName, Vector RelativeLocation, Rotator RelativeRotation)	Attaches this Actor to any other Actor with a Relative Offset/Rotation
		Destroy()	Destroys this Actor
		SetCollision(number CollisionType)	Sets the actor’s collision (0 - Normal, 1 - Static Only, 2 - No Collision)
		SetGravityEnabled(boolean NewGravity)	Sets the actor’s gravity enabled
		SetHighlightEnabled(boolean Enabled)	Sets if this Actors is Highlighting
		SetInitialLocation(Vector NewInitialLocation)	Sets the initial location
		SetLocation(Vector NewLocation)	Sets the actor’s location in the game world
		SetRotation(Rotator NewRotation)	Sets the actor’s rotation in the game world
		SetScale(Vector Scale)	Sets the actor’s scale
		SetTintColor(Color NewTintColor)	Sets the tint color, for completely paint an object, multiply the color by 10 or 100
		SetValue(string Key, any Value)	Sets a value in this entity, which can be accessed by any package (local only)
	boolean	IsGravityEnabled()	Gets the actor’s gravity enabled
	boolean	IsValid()	Returns if this is Valid
	number	GetCollision()	Gets the current actor’s collision
	number	GetID()	Gets the network ID of this entity (same in both client and server)
