[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.
directionalLight is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The directionalLight command is used to edit the parameters of
existing directionalLights, or to create new ones. The default
behaviour is to create a new directionallight.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
