Using the below code, and I can see in debugger the Type is still Point.

+ Code Snippet

DarkGDK.Lighting.AdditionalLight LightSource = new DarkGDK.Lighting.AdditionalLight();
LightSource.SetSpotLight(5, 45);
LightSource.Position(-MAP_WIDTH, 0, -40);
LightSource.Point(MAP_WIDTH, 0, -40);
LightSource.Range = 500;

Is this broken?

Interesting...

var t = LightSource.Type.ToString(); -- does return point

---
If you look at the actual DarkGDK wrapper code, you will find that the implementation for SetSpotLight, SetPointLight, and SetDirectionalLight vary by one detail...

+ Code Snippet

public void SetDirectionalLight(float x, float y, float z)
{
    CDarkGDK.oDBLight.SetDirectionalLight(this.Id, x, y, z);
}
public void SetPointLight(float x, float y, float z)
{
    CDarkGDK.oDBLight.SetPointLight(this.Id, x, y, z);
}
public void SetSpotLight(float inner, float outer)
{
    CDarkGDK.oDBLight.SetSpotLight(0, inner, outer);
}

Why does the signature of SetSpotLight have a parameter of 0 instead of this.Id? Clearly the expected argument to AdditionalLight is expecting the ID...

+ Code Snippet

public AdditionalLight()
{
    this.Id = AdditionalLight.idManager.GetNextId();
    CDarkGDK.oDBLight.MakeLight(this.Id);
}

Well spotted. No pun intended.

If you need any changes made to the classes to improve overall stability, please feel free to email me any change requests so that I can finally have a good list of bugs/issues.
