Accessing HDRP light parameters via script

Hello,

as the title says i'd like to understand how to access to HDRP light parameters through code.

In my specific case, i want to modify via script the length of a tube light but i can't find any documentation about it. In fact, all the current API refers to the standard lighting that has no tube shape.

I have no clues about it, could somebody help me please?

Thanks in advance

 

Ok, no problem, i've figured out how to do it.
Just take the light as a normal game object and get the component "HDadditionalLightData".

I hope it could be useful for somebody.

 

Like for sharing the solution.

 

This gives me the following error:
The type or namespace name 'HDAdditionalLightData' could not be found
I also tried HDadditionalLightData (what you wrote) and get the same error

my c#:

lightObj.GetComponent<HDAdditionalLightData>();

Can you post a sample of your c#? The lack of HDRIP documentation is killing me. changing any light related components via script is totally different now.

 

Hi! Have you imported the hd pipeline library? If not, make sure to add at the top of your script also this:


using UnityEngine.Experimental.Rendering.HDPipeline;

Let me know if it works.
Have a nice day!

 

Check out my post at the end of this thread for accessing HD lighting data in 2019.3. It might also work in prior versions of 2019 but I haven't tested beyond 2019.3 at the moment.

Just for people who this didn't work for, I'm using the latest 2019 version of unity and
using UnityEngine.Rendering.HighDefinition; is what worked for me.
