Cone light direction Degree parameter doing nothing what ever value i give?

Question

coneLight = new ConeLight(rayHandler,100,Color.WHITE,200/PPM,0,0,30,30); At directionDegree = 30

    coneLight = new ConeLight(rayHandler,100,Color.WHITE,200/PPM,0,0,60,30);

    coneLight = new ConeLight(rayHandler,100,Color.WHITE,200/PPM,0,0,130,30);

why the same result is coming in all case(different values of direction degrees)?

It looks like you are attaching the light to a body. This overwrites the angle offset. To add an offset when attaching to a body user coneLight.attach(body, x, y, degrees). — dfour, Aug 14 '18 at 09:14
thanks ...it worked....and can you please tell me how many types of lights are there in box2D related to libgdx — Shubham Tripathi, Aug 14 '18 at 11:20
The only ones I used were, point, cone, directional and chain light. Not sure if there are any others. You could check the src on github https://github.com/libgdx/box2dlights — dfour, Aug 14 '18 at 11:42

Attaching a Light to a body will cause the light to ignore any angle offsets set to the light.

In order to add an angle offset when attaching to a body use

light.attach(body, x, y, degrees);
