Description

Sets intensity of light directly. setLightBrightness uses setLightIntensity internally, therefore avoid using setLightBrightness alltogether to avoid confusion

Note

Intensity formula is as follows (IF SET VIA setLightBrightness):

Intensity = Brightness ^ 2 * 2500;

[4096, 4096, 10] spawn {
    private _brightness = 1;
    private _intensity = _brightness ^ 2 * 2500;

    private _obj = "Sign_Sphere10cm_F" createVehicleLocal _this;
    private _light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal _this;
    _light setLightDayLight true;
    _light setLightAmbient [1, 1, 1];
    _light setLightColor [1, 1, 1];

    _light setLightBrightness _brightness;
    sleep 0.2;
    _brightness = getLightingAt _obj select 3;

    _light setLightIntensity _intensity;
    sleep 0.2;
    _intensity = getLightingAt _obj select 3;

    systemChat format ["%1 (%2, %3)", _brightness == _intensity, _brightness, _intensity];

    deleteVehicle _light;
    deleteVehicle _obj;
};

In Arma 3 ver1.14 setLightIntensity will overwrite the previous effect processed by setLightBrightness on the same light source, vice versa. And both of them currently play the same role on brightness, for example:

_light setLightIntensity 3000;
// same as
_light setLightBrightness 1;
