OmniLight
=========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Light<class_Light>` **<** :ref:`VisualInstance<class_VisualInstance>` **<** :ref:`Spatial<class_Spatial>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Omnidirectional light, such as a light bulb or a candle.

Description
-----------

An Omnidirectional light is a type of :ref:`Light<class_Light>` that emits light in all directions. The light is attenuated by distance and this attenuation can be configured by changing its energy, radius, and attenuation parameters.

Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_OmniLight_ShadowMode:

.. _class_OmniLight_constant_SHADOW_DUAL_PARABOLOID:

.. _class_OmniLight_constant_SHADOW_CUBE:

enum **ShadowMode**:

- **SHADOW_DUAL_PARABOLOID** = **0** --- Shadows are rendered to a dual-paraboloid texture. Faster than :ref:`SHADOW_CUBE<class_OmniLight_constant_SHADOW_CUBE>`, but lower-quality.

- **SHADOW_CUBE** = **1** --- Shadows are rendered to a cubemap. Slower than :ref:`SHADOW_DUAL_PARABOLOID<class_OmniLight_constant_SHADOW_DUAL_PARABOLOID>`, but higher-quality.

----

.. _enum_OmniLight_ShadowDetail:

.. _class_OmniLight_constant_SHADOW_DETAIL_VERTICAL:

.. _class_OmniLight_constant_SHADOW_DETAIL_HORIZONTAL:

enum **ShadowDetail**:

- **SHADOW_DETAIL_VERTICAL** = **0** --- Use more detail vertically when computing the shadow.

- **SHADOW_DETAIL_HORIZONTAL** = **1** --- Use more detail horizontally when computing the shadow.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_OmniLight_property_omni_attenuation:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **omni_attenuation**

+-----------+------------------+
| *Default* | ``1.0``          |
+-----------+------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_param(value) |
+-----------+------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_param()      |
+-----------+------------------+

The light's attenuation (drop-off) curve. A number of presets are available in the **Inspector** by right-clicking the curve.

----

.. _class_OmniLight_property_omni_range:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **omni_range**

+-----------+------------------+
| *Default* | ``5.0``          |
+-----------+------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_param(value) |
+-----------+------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_param()      |
+-----------+------------------+

The light's radius. Note that the effectively lit area may appear to be smaller depending on the :ref:`omni_attenuation<class_OmniLight_property_omni_attenuation>` in use. No matter the :ref:`omni_attenuation<class_OmniLight_property_omni_attenuation>` in use, the light will never reach anything outside this radius.

----

.. _class_OmniLight_property_omni_shadow_detail:

- :ref:`ShadowDetail<enum_OmniLight_ShadowDetail>` **omni_shadow_detail**

+-----------+--------------------------+
| *Default* | ``1``                    |
+-----------+--------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_shadow_detail(value) |
+-----------+--------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_shadow_detail()      |
+-----------+--------------------------+
