directionalLight([decayRate=int], [discRadius=linear], [intensity=float], [name=string], [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.
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.
