does anyone know if the lighting system commands are going to include repositioning of the lights in v2?

v1 it seriously looks like I need to delete and remake every frame... (if I need them moving)

I feel goofy saying this but I just only now figured out how to use them slightly. (My hockey game has shaded characters now...OMG!) I'll update that in a week or so for the stores and once I learn a tad more about them.

my second question is.... how does the create directional light command work for those first 3 inputs.

is that the position of the light or the intensity?

and I assume the other command associated with it is the location to point the light?

im confused!

anyone got any good example codes showing usage?

First of all, "setlightPointPosition" works for me to move a point light.

Second, they are vectors. The directional light doesn't have a position, it lights everything depending on the vectors that has that shader turned on.

Here (directional light only):

and here (repositioning of point light and altering directional light direction vector):

Hope these help.

one of these days I'll come up with a better signature
