Lights doesn't rotate

[Kruger]

When you try to change the Angle/Rotation of the light in the editor or wanna do it in Event action, lights doesn’t rotate at all.

Can you be a bit more specific? Because a basic light object won’t appear to rotate because it is circular…

I think they mean when they’re using a light texture.

Try to rotate in editor or in event lights with this texture

You’re probably trying to create something like a torch, aren’t you? You’re right - I’ve just tested it. It’s not possible to rotate a light object. But you can create a sprite with which you limit the light cone of the circular light. You can then rotate this as you wish. And you can also make it invisible and it will still process the obstacle behaviour.

Need help creating a flashlight for my 2D top-down view game?

You can use light source as your player Then you have option to set what objects block light Armed with that knowledge look at the picture below And imagine you have 3 blocks around your player which are rotated with your player And now you will stream light only like on picture below [Flashlight] So all you need to do is move these objects to your player and if player changes orientation you change orientation of these 3 objects also and you have your flashlight
