Copy light object

Hi,

I'am trying to copy light objects by using the following code:

Code:

general_light= viz.addLight()

general_light.position(11.496,4.195,2.63)

general_light.direction(0,-1,0)

general_light.spread(180)

general_light.intensity(1)

general_light.spotexponent(3)



light_1 = general_light.copy()

light_1.setPosition(11.496,4.195,5.63)

light_2 = general_light.copy()

light_2.setPosition(11.496,4.195,7.289)

...and I get the error:
** ERROR: Failed to copy node
** ERROR: Failed to copy node

Is there any special way to copy a light object?

Best regards,

Alex.

No, this is not currently supported. In your specific case you can define a function that creates the light and sets the parameters:

Code:

def addGeneralLight():

        general_light= viz.addLight()

        general_light.position(11.496,4.195,2.63)

        general_light.direction(0,-1,0)

        general_light.spread(180)

        general_light.intensity(1)

        general_light.spotexponent(3)

        return general_light



light_1 = addGeneralLight()

light_1.setPosition(11.496,4.195,5.63)

light_2 = addGeneralLight()

light_2.setPosition(11.496,4.195,7.289)
