Point light renamed to omni light?

Open albertvanveen opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

When I was looking to information about point light, I discovered this is not available anymore. I guess the name of point light is renamed to omni light? In that case, the name has not yet been updated in the editor and some other places.

Can you list the places you still notice 'point' instead of 'omni' and we'll get them updated. Thanks!

  • The light component in the editor itself
  • Manual page: https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/tutorials/controlling-lights/
  • Manual page: https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/user-manual/packs/components/light/

We also call it a point light in the Editor image

That was @albertvanveen's first bullet. 😄

@mvaligursky Can you confirm that the language 'point light' should be globally replaced with 'omni light' (across all our docs/source/interfaces)?

Correct, all 'Point light' should be converted to 'Omni light', to match the engine.

@yaustar I've fixed the Editor front-end. Do you want to update the tutorials mentioned above?

willeastcott avatar Nov 01 '22 12:11 willeastcott

Sure, I will update

The Editor UI has now been updated to only refer to Omni lights. There is also a PR to update the Developer Site. Therefore, I'm closing this issue. If you find any more instances of 'point light', do let us know! 😄
