LightObject::SetLightFlags

Defined in: C4LightObjects.h

Sets the light flags.

Prototype

void SetLightFlags(unsigned long flags);

Parameters

flags The new light flags.

Description

The SetLightFlags function sets the light flags to the value specified by the flags parameter, which can be a combination (through logical OR) of the following values.

`kLightStatic`	Light is static (does not move).
`kLightShadowInhibit`	Light does not cast shadows.
`kLightGenerator`	Light generates a projected shadow.
`kLightExternalZone`	The light's position may temporarily be outside its owning zone.
`kLightConfined`	The light is confined to a small sphere (point light only).
`kLightInstanceShadowSpace`	The light should use the shadow space connected by an instance super node.

The kLightGenerator flag only pertains to depth lights, cube lights, and spot lights. It indicates that a projected texture should be generated for a light during the development process.

The kLightExternalZone flag should be set when the light source is a subnode of another node that may be in a different zone. When this flag is set, the light node will independently determine which zone it's in instead of using the owning zone in the node hierarchy.
