How can I use directioal lights on irrlicht or are there directional lights?
I look at the forums but I can't get any good solution....

Code: Select all

scene::ILightSceneNode* light = smgr->addLightSceneNode(0, core::vector3df(0,0,0), video::SColorf(255, 255, 255, 255), 1000.0f);
video::SLight ldata = light->getLightData();
ldata.Type = video::ELT_DIRECTIONAL;
ldata.Position = core::vector3df(-10,5,-5);
light->setLightData(ldata);

hmmm...I enabled it to true but I got debug error....I disabled it to false and I closed the all lights and I got different result but it is not directional light because it lights all the face of objects in current scene...I think irrlicht does not have directional light like cone ...

You mean spot light, not directional light. Directional light is like sunlight from a light source infinitely far away. And no, no spot lights yet.
