Custom Appearance (pattern) <string>

Set a custom pattern of light brightness for this light. Pattern format is a string of characters, where 'a' is total darkness, 'z' fully bright. i.e. 'aaggnnttzz' would be a steppy fade in from dark to light.

Start Fade Dist (fademindist) <float>

Distance at which the light starts to fade (<0 : use fademaxdist).

End Fade Dist (fademaxdist) <float>

Maximum distance at which the light is visible (0 : don't fade out).

Render to Cubemaps (rendertocubemaps) <boolean>

If true, this geometry renders into baked cube maps

Priority (priority) <integer>

When the number of visible lights exceeds the rendering budget, higher priority lights are chosen for rendering first.

Indirect Light Multiplier (bouncescale) <float>

Multiplies the brightness of light bouncing of surfaces.

Render Diffuse (renderdiffuse) <boolean>

Toggles baking and rendering of diffuse lighting (per-pixel, lightmaps,light probe volumes and bounced light on cubemaps).

Render Specular (renderspecular) <choices>

Controls rendering of direct specular highlights. This applies a bright sphere effect to reflections.

• 0: Off
• 1: On - Render in real-time.
• 2: Bake into cubemaps (Source 1 behavior)

Enabled (directlight) <choices>

How direct lighting should be represented.

• 0: None
• 1: Baked
• 2: Per-Pixel
• 3: Mixed
  Todo: possibly deprecated
