              Disable and enable emission property of a material via C# script?
Edit: Fixed it with the help of some more google-ing. Here is an if statement containing the solution:
 if (targetLight.enabled == true)
  {
      GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Turn_On"); // Plays the light switch's on animation
      emissionSourceMaterial.EnableKeyword("_EMISSION"); // sets the public variable emissionSourceMaterial's emission property active. Use DisableKeyword to disable emission.
   }
Hello, I am a bit new to scripting in Unity so sorry if this is a newbie question.
I have a script that toggles a point light when a light switch is clicked. I have the ceiling lamp that the light is supposed to look like it comes off of set with an emissive material, along with a non-emissive material for the lamp base. How do I reference the emission property of a specific material on a separate game object and set it to on or off? Thanks in advanced.
My code (Btw, sourceLamp variable holds the game object that has the material in which I wish to modify the emission property of):
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class LightToggle : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public Light targetLight;
     public GameObject sourceLamp;
 
     float distance;
     bool open;
 
     void Awake()
     {
         //player = GameObject.Find ("FPSController");     
         distance = 3;
     }
 
     void OnMouseOver()
     {
         Vector3 playerPosition = GameObject.Find("FPSController").transform.position;
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {           
             if (Vector3.Distance(playerPosition, transform.position) <= distance)
             {
                 targetLight.enabled = !targetLight.enabled;
                 Debug.Log(targetLight.enabled);
 
                 if (targetLight.enabled == true)
                 {
                     GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Turn_On");
                 }
                 else if (targetLight.enabled == false)
                 {
                     GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Turn_Off");
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 }
