- The RGB color of the light. Colors must be between 0 and 255.
- Light Intensity (lightintensity) <float>
- Intensity/brightness of the light. It's RGB * intensity.
Note:With 0 it will make the light disabled, including the effects. Doesn't affect shadows.
- Range (lightrange) <float>
- Range of the light, or how far the light source can illuminate. Measured in Hammer Units.
Warning:This is one of the parameters that affects performance in the game. Smaller values allow you to process less geometry and save performance.- Note:Shadows from objects that are at a great distance look noticeably worse than shadows from objects that are near to the light source.
- Important:Range is limited, the limit depends on intensity value. Do not use values bigger than the intensity value allows.
