NEON APIRenderer and distant lights

Available in Neon, not standard MTA

Returns Project2DFX catalogue, visible render-queue, and capacity counters.

Syntax

Copy signature

table engineGetDistantLightStats()

Returns

A table containing enabled, definitions, activeCoronas, coronaCapacity, and drawDistance. activeCoronas is the current private render-queue size; coronaCapacity is 25000.

Ownership and lifecycle

Renderer counters live for the current process. Distant lights start disabled, and each client resource can opt in.

Important behavior

• Since commit 25648d888, these counters describe Neon's private distant-light queue rather than GTA/MTA's shared 4096-entry corona pool.
