Lights and entities

There are two types of lighting in a scene:

1. Entity lights

• Lights attached to in-scene entities.
• Useful to represent torches, candles, fire, lamps, etc.
• May as well belong to invisible entities (entities without sprite)
• An entity light is always attached to the parent entity, being translated and rotated with it
• Entity lights are labelled as static or dynamic depending on their parent entity configuration.

2. Odd lights

• Lights without parent entity.
• Can only be placed in the scene through scripting (with the AddLight function).
• Odd lights are immediately erased after being rendered.
• To keep odd lights in scene it must be added at every rendering frame.
• Odd lights are always treated as dynamic lights.
