Light

Description

Script interface for light components.

Use this to control all aspects of Unity's lights. The properties are an exact match for the values shown in the Inspector.

Usually lights are just created in the editor but sometimes you want to create a light from a script:

#pragma strict
public class Example extends MonoBehaviour {
	function Start() {
		// Make a game object
		var lightGameObject: GameObject = new GameObject("The Light");
		// Add the light component
		var lightComp: Light = lightGameObject.AddComponent.<Light>();
		// Set color and position
		lightComp.color = Color.blue;
		// Set the position (or any transform property)
		lightGameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 5, 0);
	}
}

using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        // Make a game object
        GameObject lightGameObject = new GameObject("The Light");

        // Add the light component
        Light lightComp = lightGameObject.AddComponent<Light>();

        // Set color and position
        lightComp.color = Color.blue;

        // Set the position (or any transform property)
        lightGameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 5, 0);
    }
}
