LightComponent

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Default value	Description
Range	float	100	The range of the emitted light. Higher values are more performance-intensive.
CastShadows	bool	true	Should structures cast shadows when light from this light source hits them. Disabling shadows increases the performance of the game, and is recommended for lights with a short range. Lights that are set to be drawn behind subs don’t cast shadows, regardless of this setting.
DrawBehindSubs	bool	false	Lights drawn behind submarines don’t cast any shadows and are much faster to draw than shadow-casting lights. It’s recommended to enable this on decorative lights outside the submarine’s hull.
IsOn	bool	false	Is the light currently on.
Flicker	float	0	How heavily the light flickers. 0 = no flickering, 1 = the light will alternate between completely dark and full brightness.
FlickerSpeed	float	1	How fast the light flickers.
PulseFrequency	float	0	How rapidly the light pulsates (in Hz). 0 = no blinking.
PulseAmount	float	0	How much light pulsates (in Hz). 0 = not at all, 1 = alternates between full brightness and off.
BlinkFrequency	float	0	How rapidly the light blinks on and off (in Hz). 0 = no blinking.
LightColor	Color	“255,255,255,255”	The color of the emitted light (R,G,B,A).
IgnoreContinuousToggle	bool	false	If enabled, the component will ignore continuous signals received in the toggle input (i.e. a continuous signal will only toggle it once).
AlphaBlend	bool	true	Should the light sprite be drawn on the item using alpha blending, in addition to being rendered in the light map? Can be used to make the light sprite stand out more.
