Casts light in a 2D environment. A light is defined as a color, an energy value, a mode (see constants), and various other parameters (range and shadows-related).
SHADOW_FILTER_NONE = 0
No filter applies to the shadow map. This provides hard shadow edges and is the fastest to render. See shadow_filter.
SHADOW_FILTER_PCF5 = 1
Percentage closer filtering (5 samples) applies to the shadow map. This is slower compared to hard shadow rendering. See shadow_filter.
SHADOW_FILTER_PCF13 = 2
Percentage closer filtering (13 samples) applies to the shadow map. This is the slowest shadow filtering mode, and should be used sparingly. See shadow_filter.
BLEND_MODE_ADD = 0
Adds the value of pixels corresponding to the Light2D to the values of pixels under it. This is the common behavior of a light.
BLEND_MODE_SUB = 1
Subtracts the value of pixels corresponding to the Light2D to the values of pixels under it, resulting in inversed light effect.
BLEND_MODE_MIX = 2
Mix the value of pixels corresponding to the Light2D to the values of pixels under it by linear interpolation.
The Light2D's blend mode. See BlendMode constants for values.
The Light2D's Color.
If true
, Light2D will only appear when editing the scene.
If true
, Light2D will emit light.
The Light2D's energy value. The larger the value, the stronger the light.
The layer mask. Only objects with a matching CanvasItem.light_mask will be affected by the Light2D. See also shadow_item_cull_mask, which affects which objects can cast shadows.
Note: range_item_cull_mask is ignored by DirectionalLight2D, which will always light a 2D node regardless of the 2D node's CanvasItem.light_mask.
Maximum layer value of objects that are affected by the Light2D.
Minimum layer value of objects that are affected by the Light2D.
Maximum z
value of objects that are affected by the Light2D.
Minimum z
value of objects that are affected by the Light2D.
Color of shadows cast by the Light2D.
If true
, the Light2D will cast shadows.
Shadow filter type. See ShadowFilter for possible values.
Smoothing value for shadows. Higher values will result in softer shadows, at the cost of visible streaks that can appear in shadow rendering. shadow_filter_smooth only has an effect if shadow_filter is SHADOW_FILTER_PCF5 or SHADOW_FILTER_PCF13.
The shadow mask. Used with LightOccluder2D to cast shadows. Only occluders with a matching CanvasItem.light_mask will cast shadows. See also range_item_cull_mask, which affects which objects can receive the light.
Returns the light's height, which is used in 2D normal mapping. See PointLight2D.height and DirectionalLight2D.height.
Sets the light's height, which is used in 2D normal mapping. See PointLight2D.height and DirectionalLight2D.height.
