Light Commands

These commands allow the user to use different types of lights in their simulation. These commands can help the user lighten dark areas of their simulation. They also contribute to making the VR experience more immersive.

Two light commands change the scene light parameters. Using these command is equivalent to set the light options in the right menu.

The three other light commands are dynamic lights:

Spawn light

T_LightBulb

When used, this command will give the user a choice between three different types of lights to spawn:

  • Point light: A sphere diffusing light in every direction around it (like a lightbulb).

  • Spot light: A cylinder diffusing light from its base in one direction. This direction can be changed by moving the spot light using the Grab commands.

  • Rectangular light: A rectangle diffusing light in from one of its sides in one direction. This direction can be changed by moving the rectangular light using the Grab commands.
