Properties[edit]

Property group 'LightComponent'[edit]

bCanAffectDynamicPrimitivesOutsideDynamicChannel[edit]

Type: bool

Modifiers: const

Whether the light can affect dynamic primitives even though the light is not affecting the dynamic channel.

bCastCompositeShadow[edit]

Type: bool

True if the light should cast shadow from primitives which use a composite light environment.

bEnabled[edit]

Type: bool

Modifiers: const

Is this light enabled?

Default value: True

bForceDynamicLight[edit]

Type: bool

Modifiers: const

True if this light should use dynamic shadows for all primitives.

forces the use of shadow volumes/ stencil shadows which avoid potential issues with cubemaps and also avoids any memory used for static shadowing

bOnlyAffectSameAndSpecifiedLevels[edit]

Type: bool

Modifiers: const

Whether to only affect primitives that are in the same level/ share the same GetOutermost() or are in the set of additionally specified ones.

Brightness[edit]

Type: float

Modifiers: const, interp


Default value: 1.0

bUseVolumes[edit]

Type: bool

Whether to use the inclusion/ exclusion volumes.

CastDynamicShadows[edit]

Type: bool

True if the light can be blocked by dynamic shadow casting primitives.

controls whether the light should cast shadows from objects that cannot receive static shadowing

Default value: True

CastShadows[edit]

Type: bool

Modifiers: const

True if the light can be blocked by shadow casting primitives.

controls whether the light should cast shadows

Default value: True

CastStaticShadows[edit]

Type: bool

Modifiers: const

True if the light can be blocked by static shadow casting primitives.

controls whether the light should cast shadows from objects that can receive static shadowing

Default value: True

ExclusionVolumes[edit]

Type: array<Brush>

Modifiers: editoronly, const

Array of volumes used by AffectsBounds if bUseVolumes is set. Light will only affect primitives if they neither touching nor are contained by at least one volume. Exclusion overrides inclusion.

Function[edit]

Type: LightFunction

Modifiers: const, editinline, export


InclusionVolumes[edit]

Type: array<Brush>

Modifiers: editoronly, const

Array of volumes used by AffectsBounds if bUseVolumes is set. Light will only affect primitives if they are touching or are contained by at least one volume. Exclusion overrides inclusion.

LightAffectsClassification[edit]

Type: ELightAffectsClassification

Modifiers: const, editconst

This is the classification of this light. This is used for placing a light for an explicit purpose. Basically you can now have "type" information with lights and understand the intent of why a light was placed. This is very useful for content people getting maps from others and understanding why there is a dynamic affect light in the middle of the world with a radius of 32k! And also useful for being able to do searches such as the following: show me all lights which effect dynamic objects. Now show me the set of lights which are not explicitly set as Dynamic Affecting lights.

LightColor[edit]

Type: Object.Color

Modifiers: const, interp


Default value:

Member Value
A 0
B 255
G 255
R 255

LightEnvironment[edit]

Type: LightEnvironmentComponent

Modifiers: const

The light environment which the light affects. NULL represents an implicit default light environment including all primitives and lights with LightEnvironment=NULL.

LightingChannels[edit]

Type: LightingChannelContainer

Modifiers: const

Lighting channels controlling light/ primitive interaction. Only allows interaction if at least one channel is shared

Default value:

Member Value
bInitialized True
BSP True
CompositeDynamic True
Dynamic True
Static True

LightShadowMode[edit]

Type: ELightShadowMode

Type of shadowing to apply for the light

MaxShadowResolution[edit]

Type: int

override for max square dimensions (in texels) allowed for rendering shadow subject depths 0 defaults to Engine.MaxShadowResolution

MinShadowResolution[edit]

Type: int

override for min dimensions (in texels) allowed for rendering shadow subject depths. 0 defaults to Engine.MinShadowResolution

ModShadowColor[edit]

Type: Object.LinearColor

Shadow color for modulating entire scene

Default value:

Member Value
A 1.0
B 0.0
G 0.0
R 0.0

ModShadowFadeoutExponent[edit]

Type: float

Exponent that controls mod shadow fadeout curve.

Default value: 3.0

ModShadowFadeoutTime[edit]

Type: float

Time since the caster was last visible at which the mod shadow will fade out completely.

OtherLevelsToAffect[edit]

Type: array<name>

Modifiers: const

Array of other levels to affect if bOnlyAffectSameAndSpecifiedLevels is TRUE, own level always implicitly part of array.

ShadowFilterQuality[edit]

Type: EShadowFilterQuality

Quality of shadow buffer filtering to use on this light

ShadowProjectionTechnique[edit]

Type: EShadowProjectionTechnique

Type of shadow projection to use for this light

UseDirectLightMap[edit]

Type: bool

Modifiers: const

Set to True to store the direct flux of this light in a light-map.

Internal variables[edit]

bHasLightEverBeenBuiltIntoLightMap[edit]

Type: bool

Modifiers: const

Whether light has ever been built into a lightmap

ExclusionConvexVolumes[edit]

Type: array<pointer>

Modifiers: native, const

Array of convex exclusion volumes, populated from ExclusionVolumes by PostEditChange.

InclusionConvexVolumes[edit]

Type: array<pointer>

Modifiers: native, const

Array of convex inclusion volumes, populated from InclusionVolumes by PostEditChange.

LightGuid[edit]

Type: Object.Guid

Modifiers: const, duplicatetransient

GUID used to associate a light component with precomputed shadowing information across levels. The GUID changes whenever the light position changes.

LightListIndex[edit]

Type: int

Modifiers: const, native, duplicatetransient

The munged index of this light in the light list

> 0 == static light list

 0 == not part of any light list

< 0 == dynamic light list

LightmapGuid[edit]

Type: Object.Guid

Modifiers: const, duplicatetransient

GUID used to associate a light component with precomputed shadowing information across levels. The GUID changes whenever any of the lighting relevant properties changes.

LightToWorld[edit]
