Hey,
Been looking for a way to access the SRP lens flare component for a script where I want the flare to appear larger or smaller depending on the value of a float.
.
I have tried using the LensFlare component, however from what I understand (I am a beginner so I might just be ignorant here) this only works for the built in pipeline lens flare (as seen here even when I declare the lens flare as public in my script I cant simply drag my game object containing the lens flare into the field).
.
Calling for the lens flare through the script does not seem to work either. While using the following code to access the component:
LensFlare flare = this.gameObject.GetComponent(typeof(LensFlare)) as LensFlare;
I am being returned the error:
“MissingComponentException: There is no ‘LensFlare’ attached to the “Point Light” game object, but a script is trying to access it. You probably need to add a LensFlare to the game object “Point Light”. Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.”
.
I’ve searched for about an hour now for a way to access it via script but I keep on just circling back to the manual or the legacy manuals instructions, with the LTS manual only showing me a basic overview of the component etc. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Many thanks.
The class name you are looking for is
