How do I use godrays and maintain background?

How do I...?

Hey guys,

So I wanted to use the “Godrays” effect on my B&W forest level, but whenever I apply the effect it just makes the background and midground blackout. I couldn’t find anything on this specific issue, so I figure it must be something I’m doing wrong. The effect is applied to my “Base Layer”, all layers below it are the ones who black out, here is what it looks like

I’m afraid it’s meant to be applied to the background, so you’re not supposed to have sprites behind it. :thinking:

Oh yeah, I was just using it on the background, but I have the background split up into 3 segments for Para laxing. But good to know! I’ll put in some manual beams for the foreground/midground and just apply it to the very back layer

Thanks
