 Hello,


 my feature request BUG-1497 (see below) got closed (not applicable). Why 
 that? Do we have so submit working patches for features requests?

 I think my request is pretty valid.



 *LSL commands for light projectors*

 Implementation of additional LSL command parameters:

 I would add parameters for llSetLinkPrimitiveParams and 
 llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast:

 Flag: PRIM_CAST_LIGHT
 Description: Let the prim with activated point light cast shadows.
 Usage: [ PRIM_CAST_LIGHT, key projection_texture, integer fov, integer focus, 
 integer ambiance ]

 Texture, FOV, Focus and Ambiance are already properties of a prim, only they 
 cannot get accessed via scripts yet.



 Why can't we set those parameters via scripts?


(caveat... I didn't even see that issue, or have anything to do with 
closing it, so this is personal speculation...)

Whether or not light sources cast shadows is an independent user choice 
in the viewer, and we already have an option that allows projectors to 
cast shadows.

 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.

Yep, that was the idea. It's no new feature lightwise, it's just scriptifying 
what's already there.

Not sure if you can see the jira history for BUG-1497, but it's been
linked (correctly) as a duplicate of a very old request, SCR-163.

Perhaps the feature is in limbo until it's decided to protect the
fragile rendering pipeline by neutering scripts in yet another way.
