[dev] Light Intensity

Is it possible to change intensity of point or spot light?

 

You can do that with a script. In this example there is a cab control that can be used to adjust the intensity.

Code:

local desklight = Call( "*:GetControlValue", "Desklight", 0 )
local desklightint = Call( "*:GetControlValue", "Desklightint", 0 )
local desklightcolor = {1.0,0.966,0.786}
local desklightintensity = desklightint
Call("Desklight:SetColour",desklightcolor[1]*desklightintensity,desklightcolor[2]*desklightintensity,desklightcolor[3]*desklightintensity)
Call("Desklight:Activate", desklight);

"Desklight" is the name of the child component in engine bp.

Or if you meant a scenery item then you can do that in the properties flyout on the right-hand side - or in the blueprint if you want to create a set of them.IIRC

 

One of the problems with the new Italian route is the signals are not very bright - it would be good to change the intensity

 

Thank you, guys! Intensity is just a scale parameter for RGB values. Another undocumented feature!

 

It was documented in the later delivered docs for TS2014 and later as i remember.

And be sure to not call the functions every frame when there is no change in the values. It could eat up performance a lot a fast when doing it on signals. Put in a compare functionality that only sets new values when needed.

 

No need to. The developer is fixing that issue in the next update to the route.
