Create app: Adds a "Distance" UI field to Light Entity #1673

Closed AleziaKurdis closed 2 years ago

AleziaKurdis commented 2 years ago

This PR adds a "Distance" pseudo-property to Light Entity. The new UI fields is actually plugged to the "dimensions.z" property of the entity.

People had difficulty to figure that the light's effective distance was related to the dimensions of the entity. Some tried to mess with the intensity hoping to setup the entity without succes.

To solve this, I simply added a "Distance" UI field in the "Light" tab, plugged to the property "dimensions.z".

The tooltip keeps transparent that it is actually the "dimension.z" that is edited.

This is wrong, I got blinded by the simplicity. The Distance must reflect "dimensions.z / 2". It's gonna be a bit more complex. I'm closing this PR and will submit another once.
