Change Light Render Mode

[Horror]

Is it possible to change the Render Mode of a light at runtime? I started working on some quality settings for my game and then realised that there was no property listed for Render Mode in Set Property.

I need to do this because I require a movable dynamic light and the iPhone 4 just can't handle per-pixel lighting. I still want to give more powerful phones the option to use a per-pixel light, though.

If this isn't possible then I will just have to create two versions of each light and toggle them... but being able to simply change the property would be far more elegant.

Thanks

for what it's worth, it should be possible:
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Light-renderMode.html
However, there is no such object as a LightRenderMode within Playmaker, because it's an enumerate. So I suppose it's out of the question for playmaker for now. A normal script should do it though

Thanks Kiriri,

I created two scripts:

Low Quality

Code: [Select]

function Start () {
// Make the light render with vertex lighting
light.renderMode = LightRenderMode.ForceVertex;
}
High Quality

Code: [Select]

function Start () {
// Make the light render with pixel lighting
light.renderMode = LightRenderMode.ForcePixel;
}
Then I just fire the script I want with the Add Script action. It's simple enough that I won't have to pester Jean for a custom action

Hi,

 Yes, enums are unfortuntatly not supported within playmaker, so it's always a case of either use a string representation of the enum and make a case statement within the custom action to turn it back into an proper enum option.

bye,
