Definition

class FlickerController final : public Controller

Constructor

FlickerController(float intensity, float amplitude);

Parameters
intensity The intensity of the flickering effect. This should be in the range (0.0, 1.0].
amplitude The maximum displacement distance for motion of the light node.
Description
The FlickerController class is assigned to a Light node to make it continuously change intensity and randomly move within a small volume to simulate a flickering light effect that could be produced by a flame. The intensity parameter specifies the intensity of the changes in the brightness of the light, and the amplitude parameter specifies the maximum distance that the light's position is moved from its original position.

A flicker controller is capable of driving a ShaderParameterController attached to another node. The alpha channel of the flicker controller's output contains the current intensity of the flicker effect.
