ReflectionProbe

Description

The reflection probe is used to capture the surroundings into a texture which is passed to the shaders and used for reflections.

The properties are an exact match for the values shown in the Inspector.

This class is a script interface for a reflection probe component.

Reflection probes are usually just created in the Editor, but sometimes you might want to create a reflection probe from a script:

function Start () {
    // Make a game object
    var probeGameObject : GameObject = new GameObject("The Reflection Probe");

    // Add the reflection probe component
    var probeComponent = probeGameObject.AddComponent.<ReflectionProbe>() as ReflectionProbe;

    // Set texture resolution
    probeComponent.resolution = 256;

    // Reflection will be used for objects in 10 units around the position of the probe
    probeComponent.size = Vector3(10, 10, 10);

    // Set the position (or any transform property)
    probeGameObject.transform.position = Vector3(0, 5, 0);
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start() {
        GameObject probeGameObject = new GameObject("The Reflection Probe");
        ReflectionProbe probeComponent = probeGameObject.AddComponent<ReflectionProbe>() as ReflectionProbe;
        probeComponent.resolution = 256;
        probeComponent.size = new Vector3(10, 10, 10);
        probeGameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 5, 0);
    }
}
