Associated a light with a LightControl

[Former user]

Associate a LightControl light from the JmonkeyBuilder editor panel so that light sources can be moved along with the node.

edit. This is more wide ticket. We have to create parenting for every object in JMB not just lights.

If we Implement parenting, all transform changes of mother(padre) object will be transferred to child.

@stkopp parenting is already implemented in jME, we have the problem only with lights.

[Stephan Koppel]

Can we parent single property to object to make driver as well?

[Aliaksandr Brui]

@stkopp what do you mean?

[Stephan Koppel]

@JavaSabr For example: I have UI element in my game (this element is a real game object but parented to the camera and have UI z-depth) I want to be able to move it along x-axis and turn off a light in my scene. This can be done with object datablock linking. If I link X-translate to light power, I can control light power by simply dragging this UI controller

In big engines, this works via nodes, but since we don't have advanced object nodes ability to link any parameter to any other in editor will be very helpful for prototyping games

Implemented supporting Light Control in the 1.3.2 version.
