[opensource-dev] LSL commands/parameters for light projectors

[Darien Caldwell]

Sure but I don't think that's what the JIRA was about. It's not about
forcing people to view shadows from light sources. It's about creators
being able to programmically modify the newer light parameters. (see
attached picture).  Prim lights can be turned on and off, color changed,
intensity changed, radius changed, falloff changed, all from a script. So
why can't FOV, Focus, Ambiance, and the projected texture be changed too?
It really limits the usefulness for products.
