How do I...?
1

Hi Gang,

I would like to know how to achieve a spotlight reveal effect around player. so the window is dark and only player and glow are visible. If the layer moves around, can reveal objects once in the spotlight glow - make sense? - like this

i found a couple of articles but it wasn’t spraight forward for me > READ

and this was too vague for me > SEE

is there a simple way to achieve this please?

Thanks,
Robero

that kinda worked…
Create the spotlight sprite in it’s own layer
Change the width/heighth of the spotlight sprite to be twice the Scene size to ensure complete blocking
Center the spotlight on the player
Move the spotlight layer in the same way as the base player

Not sure if there was an easier way?

That’s how I would do it! If you wanted to get fancy, you could tinker around with a Light Object.
