Variables

  Type Name Description
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay, Meta BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 bAffectGlobalIllumination Whether the light affects global illumination, when ray-traced global illumination is enabled.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay, Meta BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 bAffectReflection Whether the light affects objects in reflections, when ray-traced reflection is enabled.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, Meta BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 bAffectsWorld Whether the light can affect the world, or whether it is disabled.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 bAffectTranslucentLighting Whether the light affects translucency or not.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 bCastDeepShadow Whether the light should cast high quality hair-strands self-shadowing.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 bCastVolumetricShadow Whether the light shadows volumetric fog. Disabling this can save GPU time.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay, Meta BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 bTransmission Whether light from this light transmits through surfaces with subsurface scattering profiles.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 CastDynamicShadows Whether the light should cast shadows from dynamic objects.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay, Meta BlueprintReadOnly TEnumAsByte< ECastRayTracedShadow::Type > CastRaytracedShadow  
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 CastShadows Whether the light should cast any shadows.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay BlueprintReadOnly uint32: 1 CastStaticShadows Whether the light should cast shadows from static objects.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere, AdvancedDisplay, Meta BlueprintReadOnly float DeepShadowLayerDistribution Change the deep shadow layers distribution 0:linear distribution (uniform layer distribution), 1:exponential (more details on near small details).
Public variable UProperty Transient TObjectPtr< UTexture2D > DynamicEditorTexture Sprite for dynamic light in the editor.
Public variable UProperty Transient float DynamicEditorTextureScale Sprite scaling for dynamic light in the editor.
Public variable UProperty Category, Interp, Meta BlueprintReadOnly float IndirectLightingIntensity Scales the indirect lighting contribution from this light.
Public variable UProperty Category, Interp, Meta BlueprintReadOnly float Intensity Total energy that the light emits.
Public variable UProperty Category, Interp, Meta BlueprintReadOnly FColor LightColor Filter color of the light. Note that this can change the light's effective intensity.
Public variable UProperty FGuid LightGuid  
Public variable UProperty FGuid OriginalLightGuid GUID used to associate a light component with precomputed shadowing information across levels.
Public variable UProperty Category, EditAnywhere BlueprintReadOnly int SamplesPerPixel Samples per pixel for ray tracing
Public variable UProperty Transient TObjectPtr< UTexture2D > StaticEditorTexture Sprite for static light in the editor.
Public variable UProperty Transient float StaticEditorTextureScale Sprite scaling for static light in the editor.
Public variable UProperty Category, Interp, Meta BlueprintReadOnly float VolumetricScatteringIntensity Intensity of the volumetric scattering from this light. This scales Intensity and LightColor.
