Hello. I have created a small 3d world and wish to add a sun in the sky . It works fine apart from the fact it's so high in the sky it's off the page . Any way of moving it?

Its at fixed distance im afraid - could try setsundirection - but I think that's on the X and Z directions and not Y which is what you need.

Perhaps make your own by using a sphere as big as say 2000 and set cull mode to 0 and apply a texture or color

and then add a smaller sphere say 200 x 200 sphere which sits around 1900 mark on the Y
