spotLight([coneAngle=angle], [decayRate=int], [discRadius=linear], [dropOff=float], [intensity=float], [name=string], [penumbra=angle], [rgb=[float, float, float]], [shadowColor=[float, float, float]], [shadowDither=float], [shadowSamples=int], [softShadow=boolean], [useRayTraceShadows=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
spotLight is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The spotLight command is used to edit the parameters of
existing spotLights, or to create new ones. The default
behaviour is to create a new spotlight.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
