Realistic flashlight (from bird view)

How do i make realistic flashlight effect (not useless) for zombie shooting game? I trying to find it but i can't ;/.

The ghost shooter example bundled into C2 is a good example of this...

I don't want to have shadow like this. I saw many times games with cool flashlights.

Something like this

construct.net/en

Yes, his shadows looked really cool. Have you tried implementing them if you liked it ? He explains how to do it in the end.

But i don't know how to do it, i'm noob ;(

Like this one?

(i know, it's not 100% "realistic", but very easy to create)

This looks nice, can you send me .capx or something?

Cherico

your example is very good , can it also be implemented in a platformer game or not. If yes can you please help me.

I have a simple way to do so (though I haven't tried it so it may not work as intended)

Make a layer on top of everything and have a completely black image placed on it. Change the transparency to something you see fit. Then draw the flashlight beam on the same layer and set the blend mode to XOR. That should work and very simple.

Great example, thank you! Do you have a tutorial or .capx to share?

You won't learn if you avoid complicated stuff because you are a noob ?

Do you want Dynamic shadows , if so , you'll need to deal with math ...

Otherwise , have a look at the many tutorials in the tutorials section !

Big big big big SORRY for late answer.

(and sorry for my english)

HERE is the .capx

It's very simple:

On Start every object spawns the shadow-sprite.

Every tick the shadow-sprite's width and height will set to an special value (distance between mouseX,Y and shadow-sprite). Also will look into direction of mouxeX,Y (or wherever the light is).

Thats all!

But it's NOT REAL Light&Shadow, it's more faked, but can be useful ;)

Nijek, it will work, but you fill see behind walls and stuff.

btw. Sorry for my long not replying

Many thanks for .capx!

edit. I think it will be little bit harder with walls :/
