How to use the "Light Switch" component?
Hi,
In my scene i use a 2D (experimental) light which is On at start.
I want to switch it off with a hotspot.
I attached a “Light Switch” component to the 2D light and I check the “Enable On Start” box.
- btw by doing that... it adds an extra second light component together with the light switch on my inspector. Why?
Then on my hotspot action list I use “Object>Send message>mylight>Turn Off.
Nothing seems to happen when I use the hotspot.
I checked the 8.8 chapter of the manual and i know i can achieve this by animating the intensity.
But i'm curious please to see what am i doing wrong.
Thanks
:-)

The LightSwitch component is meant for standard Unity Light components - not for Unity's experimenal 2D light system, which is a separate system on a technical level.
Animating the intensity via an Animator, and then controlling playback with the Object: Animate Action, would indeed be the way to go.
Thank you very much Chris, problem solved.
