How can I get directional light component object?

Development Programming & Scripting

I have a function in the ThirdPersonGameMode that checks timer and should make the directional light bright, imitating a sun flare. I found a Cast to DirectionalLight blueprint node, but I can’t figure out how to get the DirectionalLight object to cast to or use for SetIntensity. Coming from programming backgroung, I am looking for a blueprint node to get the instance by component name or something. What is the correct way to get a directional light instance from the game mode?

Hi! There are several nodes that can help you:

  • Get Actor of Class node
  • Get All Actor of … nodes
  • Get All Actor With … nodes
  • Get Component… … nodes
