Class

SpotLight

An entity that illuminates virtual content in a cone-shaped volume.

Declaration

class SpotLight : Entity

Overview

During an AR session, RealityKit automatically lights your virtual objects to match real-world lighting. You can also explicitly add virtual lights that act upon your virtual content. This is typically most useful outside of an AR session (with the view’s cameraMode property set to ARView.CameraMode.nonAR).

Creating a Spotlight

init()

Creates a spotlight entity.

func clone(recursive: Bool) -> Self

Duplicates a spotlight entity to create a new spotlight entity.

Identifying a Spotlight

var id: ObjectIdentifier

The stable identity of the entity associated with self.

Available when Self conforms to AnyObject.
var id: UInt64

The stable identity of the spotlight.

typealias SpotLight.ID

A type of unique identifier used for a spotlight.

Configuring the Spot Light

var light: SpotLightComponent

A spotlight component for the entity.

struct SpotLightComponent

A component that defines a spotlight source.

var shadow: SpotLightComponent.Shadow?

The shadow cast by a spot light.

protocol HasSpotLight

An interface that defines a spot light source component.
