Dash Light

DashLight inspector.

Example DashLight.

Dashboard warning/indicator light that smoothly transitions between on and off states with Unity UI Image components.

Properties

  • On Color - Color when the light is active (default: white)
  • Off Color - Color when the light is inactive (default: black)
  • Fade Time - Duration of fade-out transition after Hold Time expires. Simulates conventional bulb dimming. Set to 0 for instant LED-style behavior
  • Hold Time - Duration to keep light on after Active becomes false. Prevents flickering from rapidly changing signals (ABS, TCS). Recommended: 0.1-0.3 seconds

Usage

Control the light state via the Active property:

  • Set Active = true to immediately turn on
  • Set Active = false to begin hold and fade-out sequence

Requires an Image component on the same GameObject.
