Class AircraftLight

Represents a single aircraft light that can consist of multiple light sources (Unity Lights and/or emissive meshes). Provides unified control for toggling complex light assemblies on and off.

Inheritance

object

AircraftLight

Namespace: NWH.Aerodynamics.AircraftController.Effects.Lights

Assembly: NWH.Aerodynamics.dll

Syntax

[Serializable]
public class AircraftLight

Remarks

Aircraft lights often combine multiple visual elements: for example, a landing light might use a spotlight for the beam and an emissive mesh for the lens. This class manages all components as a single logical light that can be turned on/off together.

Fields

isOn

Declaration

protected bool isOn

Field Value

Type	Description
bool

lightSources

Collection of all light sources that together comprise this aircraft light. Can include Unity Lights (for illumination) and emissive meshes (for lens glow).

Declaration

[Tooltip("    All the light sources representing the vehicle light.\r\n    E.g. low beam can be represented by a directional light to represent light beam and\r\n    and emissive mesh to represent light optics.")]
public List<LightSource> lightSources

Field Value

Type	Description
List<LightSource>

Remarks

Example: A landing light might contain a spotlight for the beam and an emissive mesh for the lens appearance, both controlled as a single unit.

Properties

On

Gets or sets the current on/off state of this aircraft light. When changed, affects all associated light sources.

Declaration

public bool On { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Methods

SetState(bool)

Declaration

public void SetState(bool state)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
bool	state

Toggle()

Declaration

public void Toggle()

TurnOff()

Turns off the light source or disables emission on the mesh. Mesh is required to have standard shader.

Declaration

public void TurnOff()

TurnOn()

Turns on the light source or enables emission on the mesh. Mesh is required to have standard shader.

Declaration

public void TurnOn()
