Set Light Layers by script HDRP

How to set light layers via script?

Code like this dont work.

Code (CSharp):

1.         private void Awake()
2.         {
3.             light = GetComponent<Light>();
4.             light.renderingLayerMask = 8;
5.         }
6.  
7.  

Do you also have a problem with this?

PS. I activated the layers in the settings.

 

Everything works. The editor simply does not refresh this field.

 

Hey, I just wrote this script to set Light Layers for all childs and found it pretty useful already.
Enjoy:

Code (CSharp):

1. //using Sirenix.OdinInspector;
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.Rendering.HighDefinition;
4.  
5. namespace JL.Environment
6. {
7.     public class LightLayerForChilds : MonoBehaviour
8.     {
9.         [SerializeField]
10.         //[ValidateInput("ValidateInput1",
11.         //    "Same component exists in childs, this is not allowed")]
12.         LightLayerEnum _targetLayer = LightLayerEnum.LightLayerDefault;
13.         [SerializeField]
14.         //[ValidateInput("ValidateInput2",
15.         //    "Same component exists in parent, this is not allowed")]
16.         bool _dummyUpdateToggle;
17.  
18.         private void OnValidate()
19.         {
20.             // guessing we never want to choose Everything or Nothing as
21.             // valid layer so we exclude it here to avoid edge cases
22.             if (_targetLayer == LightLayerEnum.Nothing) return;
23.             if (_targetLayer == LightLayerEnum.Everything) return;
24.  
25.             System.Array enumValues = System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(LightLayerEnum));
26.  
27.             foreach (Light light in GetComponentsInChildren<Light>(true))
28.             {
29.                 int bitmask = light.renderingLayerMask;
30.                 bitmask = CalculateBitmask(bitmask, enumValues);
31.                 light.renderingLayerMask = bitmask;
32.             }
33.  
34.             foreach (Renderer renderer in GetComponentsInChildren<Renderer>(true))
35.             {
36.                 int bitmask = (int)renderer.renderingLayerMask;
37.                 bitmask = CalculateBitmask(bitmask, enumValues);
38.                 renderer.renderingLayerMask = (uint)bitmask;
39.             }
40.         }
41.  
42.         int CalculateBitmask(int currentBitmask, System.Array enumValues)
43.         {
44.             //int originalBitVal = currentBitmask;
45.  
46.             foreach (LightLayerEnum current in enumValues)
47.             {
48.                 // if everything is not set, the inverse in SetBitmask
49.                 // will set all bits to 0, as if nothing was selected
50.                 // so we can just ignore it here
51.                 // it would probably also mess with decal layers
52.                 if (current == LightLayerEnum.Everything) continue;
53.  
54.                 int layerBitVal = (int)current;
55.  
56.                 bool set = current == _targetLayer;
57.                 //if (set) Debug.Log("Set " + current);
58.                 currentBitmask = SetBitmask(currentBitmask, layerBitVal, set);
59.             }
60.  
61.             //Debug.Log("| Bitmask : " + currentBitmask +
62.             //        "\r\n| Original: " + originalBitVal);
63.  
64.             return currentBitmask;
65.         }
66.  
67.         int SetBitmask(int bitmask, int bitVal, bool set)
68.         {
69.             if (set)
70.                 // or "|" will add the value, the 1 at the right position
71.                 bitmask |= bitVal;
72.             else
73.                 // and "&" will multiply the value, but we take the inverse
74.                 // so the bit position is 0 while all others are 1
75.                 // everything stays as it is, except for the one value
76.                 // which will be set to 0
77.                 bitmask &= ~bitVal;
78.  
79.             return bitmask;
80.         }
81.  
82.         //bool ValidateInput1(LightLayerEnum layer)
83.         //{
84.         //    return GetComponentsInChildren<LightLayerForChilds>(true).Length <= 1;
85.         //}
86.         //bool ValidateInput2(bool boolValue)
87.         //{
88.         //    return GetComponentsInParent<LightLayerForChilds>(true).Length <= 1;
89.         //}
90.     }
91. }
92.  

If you are using Odin, you can uncomment the ValidateInput Lines.
