PointLight

Summary

A pointlight must be the child of a part, and takes the position of its parent as its own.

There is currently no on/off switch for lights, but setting either the color, brightness, or range to 0 will have the desired effect.

Runtime scripting limitation

In Vortex Studio 0.3.4, Instance.new("PointLight") succeeds in both Script and LocalScript, but produces a non-functional class shell. It exposes generic Instance methods and a connectable Changed signal, while the tested light-specific fields initially read as nil.

Brightness, Range, Enabled, and Shadows are not settable. Color accepts and retains a Color3 value, but assigning Parent to a temporary Part succeeds without establishing parentage or adding a child. Consequently, there is no confirmed script route for configuring or attaching a rendered PointLight in the current runtime.

Properties

Brightness

Float

The emission brightness of the light. Does not affect range.

Color

Color3

Determines the color of the emitted light. Darker colors have the same effect as turning off the light.

Name

string

The name of the pointlight, and its label in the explorer.

Range

Float

The maximum (spherical) range that the light can reach. This controls the drop-off of the brightness over time, but does not increase the brightness.
