Day/Night Cycle

well, I guess the only option I can think of would be to have two darkness layers. one below the ground for the sun/moon light, and then one above the ground for any foreground lighting.

I am not 100% clear on what you want it to look like, so if that suggestion won't work then make a sample image showing what you are after - or a sample project to play with.

Okay thank you. I probably will not add two darkness layers because that will mean a whole lot more work. I was hoping I could use effects or blend modes, but I guess I will have to figure something else out.

Also, do you know how I could change the color of the glow? i.e. for a glow stick, it would have a greenish glow. Should I do that with effects?

Thanks

I just tried a couple things with my sample and both worked...

either make another "Glow" sprite the colour you want

or add the Tint (or SetColor) effect and set that to the desired colour.

Thanks
