The function to set the cone angles (inner and outer) for SpotLightComponent doesn't work.

[May-B_15 (Mayank Bawari)]

The function to set the cone angles (inner and outer) doesn’t work.
According to this part of the Python API docs( unreal.SpotLightComponent — Unreal Python 5.0 (Experimental) documentation ) this function should change the cone angle of the SpotLight(Component) doesn’t do anything at all,

cone_angle = 30
sl = eas.spawn_actor_from_class(unreal.SpotLight,l)
slr = sl.root_component
slr.set_outer_cone_angle(cone_angle)

The above code doesn’t set the outer cone angle and it stays at the default value.

Anyone else struggling with this can use this instead:

cone_angle = 30
sl = eas.spawn_actor_from_class(unreal.SpotLight,l)
slr = sl.root_component
slr.set_editor_property('outer_cone_angle',cone_angle)

hi Mayank Bawari,
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this - I just encounter the same case with Blueprints, if I set cone angle using spot light component it does not work.

I adapted your python script to blueprints, here is setup that works on my side, hopefully it could be helpful to someone who encounters the same issue:
