Class LightStateController

java.lang.Object
  com.jme.scene.Controller
      com.jme.util.LightStateController

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class LightStateController

extends Controller

The LightStateContraller sorts the from a collection of lights, the best eight for a particular Spatial. This can be used to create many lights inside a scene with moving objects. All spatials that use this controller are required to have there own light state and have the Light Combine Mode set to REPLACE. The controller uses a copy of a LightStateController. New lights that are added to the original LightStateContraller after the controller was created will be ignored. The Controller allows you to set a update Interval that allows you to tell the controller when to update.
