Request Change to Cornerlight Offset direction
The direction of the offset for corner lights seems to be randomly selected from one of the two orthogonal directions of the light. This makes using the lights tricky and frustrating to configure.
I suggest a drop down control be added with three options: horizontal, vertical, diagonal.
When Horizontal is selected, the offset direction is along the direction along whatever surface the light is attached. If attached in an actual corner, just pick a surface, it doesn't matter (because of the other options below).
When Vertical is selected, the offset direction is along the direction away from whatever surface the light is attached. if attached in an actual corner, this simply uses the "other" surface from what Horizontal used.
When Diagonal is selected, the offset direction is along both the Horizontal and Vertical directions.
The corner lights do not have the radius or offset distance available to other lights, which makes them generally not useful for anything but accent lights. This change adds a degree of utility to the lights that makes them suitable building choices in many situations.
It's not random. It just feels random because you can't tell the part's orientation when you place it as it looks identical in either one. Right now, you need mods such BuildInfo to tell the current orientation before placement.
