I mean like this, build lighting scene in play mode. There is script or settings?

I think what he's asking is if it's possible to build lighting in-game. So he wants to use baked lightmaps, and when something changes in the game, rebuild lighting so that the lightmaps are updated.

As TheDiamondPlay said, you can't do that. What I did find though, is that you can bake multiple lightmaps and switch between them in game. I haven't tested it myself.

No, you can not do that in the current versions of unity by default. That is because it is a very computationally expensive task.
