Description

This is the base class for all light sources and provides settings for some basic properties, e.g. active states, strength, color values, etc. It also provides a Transform Control with the ability to set translation, rotation, and scale keys.

Inheritance

RIBase > RIObject > RILight
RILight > SpotLight | PointLight | DirectionalLight

Member Functions

SetActive ( self, bActive )

Set the active state for the light.

See Also: GetActive

Parameters

bActive [IN] The active state - bool
# Get light object
light_object = RLPy.RScene.FindObject(RLPy.EObjectType_Light, "Spotlight")

# Set light object active status
light_object.SetActive(True)

GetActive ( self )

Get the active state of the light.

See Also: SetActive

Returns

Whether or not the light is active - bool
# Get light object
light_object = RLPy.RScene.FindObject(RLPy.EObjectType_Light, "Spotlight")

# Get light object active status
active_status = light_object.GetActive()
print(active_status)

SetMultiplier ( self, kTime, fMultiplier )

Set the light's strength value at a given time.

See Also: GetMultiplier

Parameters

kTime [IN] Time at which to set the light's strength value - RTime
fMultiplier [IN] The strength value - float

Returns

Success - RLPy.RStatus.Success
Failure - RLPy.RStatus.Failure
# Get light object
light_object = RLPy.RScene.FindObject(RLPy.EObjectType_Light, "Spotlight")

# Set light object multiplier value
result = light_object.SetMultiplier(RLPy.RTime(0), 8.0)

GetMultiplier ( self )

Get the light's current strength.

See Also: SetMultiplier

Returns

The strength of the light - float
# Get light object
light_object = RLPy.RScene.FindObject(RLPy.EObjectType_Light, "Spotlight")

# Get light object multiplier value
multiplier_value = light_object.GetMultiplier()
print(multiplier_value)

SetColor ( self, kTime, kColor )

Set the light's color at a given time.

See Also: GetColor

Parameters

kTime [IN] Time at which to set the light's color - RTime
kColor [IN] The target color for the light - RRgb

Returns

Success - RLPy.RStatus.Success
Failure - RLPy.RStatus.Failure
# Get light object
light_object = RLPy.RScene.FindObject(RLPy.EObjectType_Light, "Spotlight")

# Set light object color value
result = light_object.SetColor(RLPy.RTime(0), RLPy.RRgb.RED)

GetColor ( self )

Get the light's color at a given time.

See Also: SetColor

Returns

The light's color in RRgb - RRgb
# Get light object
light_object = RLPy.RScene.FindObject(RLPy.EObjectType_Light, "Spotlight")

# Set light object color value
light_color = light_object.GetColor()
print(light_color)
