Create and position a DzLight light via script

oldParticleBoy

Hi

I've been searching for a while for a way to create and position a light via script. But no success. Have (mistakenly) downloaded the SDK where I can see QT style methods and properties but nothing for the Script IDE (of course).

Could someone drop a snippet of code to get me started please?

Thanks

well oldParticleBoy 

you might take a look at the Daz Studio HeadLight Simulator script by BlackFeather1973 it should get you started

In particular:

var distantLight = new DzDistantLight();
distantLight.setName("DistantLight01");

//TO GET THE SAME LIGHT INTENSITY AS THE DAZ HEADLIGHT
//REMOVE THE TWO SLASHES IN FRONT OF THE NEXT LINE 
//distantLight.findPropertyByLabel("Intensity").setValue("0.8");

Scene.addNode(distantLight);
sceneCamera.addNodeChild(distantLight);

Replace "DzNode" with the classname of the node type that you want to create; e.g., DzPointLight, DzSpotLight, DzDistantLight, etc.
