<Light2D> methods for changing the inner and outer radius

Hello everyone,

I am trying to manipulate Light2D variables in a script.
I am able to change the intensity and color of the light through the script like this:

But I want to also be able to change these:

Is it possible to do that and what method should I call in the script?
I am mostly interested in inner/outer radius.

 

playerLight.pointLightInnerRadius and playerLight.pointLightOuterRadius seem to work for me. Couldn't find any documentation to back that up unfortunately

 

Light2D doesn't seem to exist for me. did you make any changes to the original script

Edit: in order to reference it now you need to modify a couple things in the original script.

1. add these 2 lines to the top
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
2. add a public identifier to the Light2Dmanager class
3. use the proper namespace in order to declare it properly
UnityEngine.Experimental.Rendering.Universal.Light2D

 

EDIT: the second string of code is the correct one.

pointLightInnerRadius and pointLightOuterRadius work for me as well but for some reason i keep getting this error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
ChangeLightRange.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Core/HarbingerOfColors/ChangeLightRange.cs:21)

Even though it works inside the game.
Here is my code.


using UnityEngine;
public class ChangeLightRange : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.Light2D myLight;
[SerializeField] private float rangeIncrease = 0.05f;
[SerializeField] private float minRange = 0f;
[SerializeField] private float maxRangeOuter = 25f;
[SerializeField] private float maxRangeInner = 24.5f;
private float startTime;

private void Start()
{
myLight = GetComponent<UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.Light2D>();
}

private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
{
myLight.pointLightInnerRadius = Mathf.Clamp(myLight.pointLightInnerRadius + rangeIncrease, minRange, maxRangeInner);
myLight.pointLightOuterRadius = Mathf.Clamp(myLight.pointLightOuterRadius + rangeIncrease, minRange, maxRangeOuter);
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown("q"))
{
myLight.pointLightInnerRadius = Mathf.Clamp(myLight.pointLightInnerRadius - rangeIncrease, minRange, maxRangeInner);
myLight.pointLightOuterRadius = Mathf.Clamp(myLight.pointLightOuterRadius - rangeIncrease, minRange, maxRangeOuter);
}
}

}


EDIT:

I fixed it I don't know exactly why it happened but after an intense debug session I figured what was going. So the fix to the code above is this:


using UnityEngine;
public class ChangeLightRange : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.Light2D myLight;
[SerializeField] private float rangeIncrease = 0.05f;
[SerializeField] private float minRange = 0f;
[SerializeField] private float maxRangeOuter = 25f;
[SerializeField] private float maxRangeInner = 24.5f;
private float startTime;

private void Start()
{
myLight = GetComponent<UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal.Light2D>();
}

private void Update()
{

if (Input.GetKey("e"))
{
if(myLight != null)
{
myLight.pointLightInnerRadius = Mathf.Clamp(myLight.pointLightInnerRadius + rangeIncrease, minRange, maxRangeInner);
myLight.pointLightOuterRadius = Mathf.Clamp(myLight.pointLightOuterRadius + rangeIncrease, minRange, maxRangeOuter);
}
}
if (Input.GetKey("q"))
{
if (myLight != null)
{
myLight.pointLightInnerRadius = Mathf.Clamp(myLight.pointLightInnerRadius - rangeIncrease, minRange, maxRangeInner);
myLight.pointLightOuterRadius = Mathf.Clamp(myLight.pointLightOuterRadius - rangeIncrease, minRange, maxRangeOuter);
}
}
}
}
