How to make a sprite affected my pointlight but not directional light?

Or is there a way emissive is lit by a point light as well?

not sure what you mean by emmisive. if you have some kind of roof covering your player, and dont have a sphere reflection capture, then the object will only be affected by lights in the room. in addition, if you dont want your whole room dark you can add a skylight to make it more visible.
