Template:Prototype parent A lamp to provide light, using energy.

Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithOwner.

Template:Prototype property The lamps graphics when it's on.

Template:Prototype property The lamps graphics when it's off.

Template:Prototype property The amount of energy the lamp uses. Must be greater than > 0.

Template:Prototype property Must be an electric or void energy source. The emissions set on the energy source are ignored so lamps cannot produce pollution.

Optional properties

Template:Prototype property What color the lamp will be when it is on, and receiving power.

Template:Prototype property This refers to when the light is in a circuit network, and is lit a certain color based on a Circuit value.

Template:Prototype property Defines how wires visually connect to this lamp.

Template:Prototype property The maximum circuit wire distance for this entity.

Template:Prototype property The pictures displayed for circuit connections to this lamp.

Template:Prototype property darkness_for_all_lamps_on must be > darkness_for_all_lamps_off. Values must be between 0 and 1.

Template:Prototype property darkness_for_all_lamps_on must be > darkness_for_all_lamps_off. Values must be between 0 and 1.

Template:Prototype property Whether the lamp should always be on.

Template:Prototype property Options: "additive", "multiplicative"
