pointLight()

Purpose

Creates a pinpoint light source in 3D space

Description

Creates a pinpoint light source in the specified position of the specified colour and brightness

Syntax

handle = pointLight( position, colour, brightness )

Arguments

handle The handle of the light source

position A position vector in 3 dimensional space { x, y, z } where the light source is located

colour colour name or RGB values { red, green, blue, opacity } between 0 and 1

brightness A value to indicate the brightness of the light source

Example

setcamera( {0, 10, 10 }, { 0, 0, 0 } )
bright = 50
light = pointLight( { 5, 5, 5 }, red, bright )
ballModel = loadModel( "Kat Deak/Discoball" )
ball = placeObject( ballmodel, { 0, 0, 0 }, { 10, 10, 10 } )
loop
    c = controls( 0 )
    if (c.up) then
        bright = bright + 1
    endIf
    if (c.down) then
        bright = bright - 1
    endIf
    bright = clamp( bright, 0, 100 )
    setlightbrightness( light, bright )
    rotateobject( ball, { 0, 1, 0 }, 1.0 )
    drawobjects()
    printat( 0, 0, "Use up and down arrows to adjust brightness: ", bright )
    update()
