PRIM_POINT_LIGHT

Description

Constant: integer PRIM_POINT_LIGHT = 23;

The integer constant PRIM_POINT_LIGHT has the value 23

PRIM_POINT_LIGHT is used to configure the point light configuration of the prim

llSetPrimitiveParams

[ PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, integer boolean, vector color, float intensity, float radius, float falloff ]

• integer	boolean	–	TRUE enables, FALSE disables
• vector	color	–	color in RGB <R, G, B> (<0.0, 0.0, 0.0> = black, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0> = white)
• float	intensity	–	ranges from 0.0 to 1.0
• float	radius	–	ranges from 0.1 to 20.0
• float	falloff	–	ranges from 0.01 to 2.0

When used with llSetPrimitiveParams & llSetLinkPrimitiveParams & llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast

llGetPrimitiveParams

llGetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_POINT_LIGHT ]);

Returns the list [ integer boolean, vector color, float intensity, float radius, float falloff ]

• integer	boolean	–	TRUE enables, FALSE disables
• vector	color	–	color in RGB <R, G, B> (<0.0, 0.0, 0.0> = black, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0> = white)
• float	intensity	–	ranges from 0.0 to 1.0
• float	radius	–	ranges from 0.1 to 20.0
• float	falloff	–	ranges from 0.01 to 2.0

Caveats

• Viewers that do not have advanced lighting enabled can only render 6 lights at a time and projectors will be rendered as omnidirectional light sources. (OpenGL limitations allow for 8 light sources, SL appears to reserve one each for the Sun and Moon.)
  • Viewers that do have advanced lighting enabled can render as many lights as their graphics card allows; it is not hard-limited by the viewer.
• Lights with a high intensity have a wash-out effect when overlapping. Keep this in mind when using multiple lights. Never create an abundance of lights to get around the 6 light maximum in basic lighting, as viewers with advanced lighting will be washed out and may suffer from client lag.
• There are no LSL functions that allow you to set projector values (texture, FOV, focus, and ambiance).
