Example Usage
Let's say for example we have the following scene containing a prop of a camp fire. In order to show the camp fire is lit we might add a light source.
Adding a light source to our scene
- Right click on the camp fire in the hierarchy window on the left side of the mod editor screen.
- In the context menu that opens move your mouse to 'Light'.
- Click on 'Point Light' from the options of lights.
- You should now have a light source under your camp fire, click on the lights gizmo icon and move the light slightly up.
- While selecting the light game object, look in the inspector window on the right side of the mod editor.
- Find the 'Color' option and change it to orange.
We now have a light source under our campfire that makes it appear lit.
