pointLight([decayRate=int], [discRadius=float], [edit=boolean], [exclusive=boolean], [intensity=float], [name=string], [position=[float, float, float]], [query=boolean], [rgb=[float, float, float]], [rotation=[float, float, float]], [shadowColor=[float, float, float]], [shadowDither=float], [shadowSamples=int], [softShadow=boolean], [useRayTraceShadows=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
pointLight is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The pointLight command is used to edit the parameters of
existing pointLights, or to create new ones. The default
behaviour is to create a new pointlight.
