Why is arc_angle limited to 180°? #4

Closed haath closed 2 years ago

haath commented 2 years ago

The README says:

Arc angle of the lightsource. Can be used to generate a cone of light up to an arc angle of 180 degrees. Anything above 180 degrees will result in a full circle.

However simply removing this branch from the update_angle() function in lightsource.script#33, and setting an arc_angle larger than 180° works fine for me:

if arc_angle > 180 then
    x = 0
    y = 180
    z = 0
    w = -180
else

So why is this limitation of 180° in place?

Let me know if you think it can be removed and I'll make a PR :)

I've included this in an update of the master branch. Thanks.
