Light2D programatically

Hello,

Is there any way how to setup the Light2D component programmatically? I'm trying to do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.            
2.  var light = gameObject.AddComponent<Light2D>();
3.  
4. light.lightType = Light2D.LightType.Freeform; // OK
5. light.overlapOperation = Light2D.OverlapOperation.AlphaBlend; // can't set, 'cause there is no setter
6. light.shapePath = new[] { ... }; // same - no setter
7.            

I could make a prefab with Light2D preconfigured, but that doesn't solve shapePath, because I will need to have a lot of variants.

 

Has anyone found a solution to this yet? I've heard you can use reflection as a workaround. Would it then be possible to make the freeform light act the same way that a linerenderer would?

 

I tried to change properties with reflection and it works, but I think it's not the ideal solution.

Code (CSharp):

1.             var overlapOperation = light.GetType().GetField("m_OverlapOperation", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
2.             overlapOperation?.SetValue(light, Light2D.OverlapOperation.AlphaBlend);
3.          
4.             var shapePath = light.GetType().GetField("m_ShapePath", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
5.             shapePath?.SetValue(light, new []
6.             {
7.                 new Vector3(0, 0, 0),
8.                 new Vector3(0, 1, 0),
9.                 new Vector3(1, 1, 0),
10.                 new Vector3(1, 0, 0),
11.             });
12.  
13.    
14.             light.GetType().GetField("m_Falloff", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).SetValue(light, 15.0f);
15.             light.GetType().GetMethod("UpdateMesh", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).Invoke(light, new object[] {true});
