A light updater: a rule that changes a dynamic light after the light is created, such as its colour, its intensity, its position or its rotation. A light takes its updaters from the MapLightUpdaterType in its UpdaterType. Without an UpdaterType, nothing changes the light after it is set up.

The client calls each updater of the list with the light and the elapsed time. How often the calls happen was not identified. An updater has one form for point lights and one for spotlights, and an updater that has no point light form does nothing on a point light.

Updater	Point light	Spotlight
ColorLogicDriverLightUpdater	Colour from a driver	Colour from a driver
IntensityLogicDriverLightUpdater	Intensity from a driver	Intensity from a driver
FlickerMapLightUpdater	Random flicker and jitter	Random flicker and jitter
RotateMapLightUpdater	No effect	Constant rotation

Notes

• The updaters of entity lights (DynamicPointLightGeComponentDef, DynamicSpotlightGeComponentDef) run when UpdaterType is set. For the map-placed lights, MapDynamicPointLight and MapDynamicSpotlight, the updater path was not traced.
• No shipped object uses an updater.
