LightRange:Void light:Int32, range:Float32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
light	In	Int32	required	Light handle.
range	In	Float32	required	How far the light reaches.

Description

Sets how far a point or spot light reaches. The light is full strength next to the light and fades steadily to nothing at the range, so everything beyond it stays dark. The original calls the value approximate, so try a few values until the scene looks right. The default is 1000. Directional lights ignore it.
