Hello guys !

I am wondering if it's possible to know if a sprite or smtg else pinned to it can send the information that it is situed inside a light's shadow.

I would like to avoid all the raytracing things but am not sure how to do else !

Thanks a lot !

How do you draw the shadows? Using the canvas? Or the shadowcaster behavior?

Sounds like a stealth game... does the light source change locations or are the shadows in static locations for the layout?

Hé guys, am using the integrated construct 2 shadow drawer. Light are not static. I found a solution using Line of sight btween the object and the source but am not fully satisfyed because I have to check every object, which is time expensive.
