I was wondering if anyone knows of an add-on (or a combination of built-in FX) that can create the effect you see in games (see attached image from Terraria) where the inner tiles of some mass is darkened, while the outer edge is fully visible/lit. If I'm not mistaken this is basically like an inverse, inner shadow... but there seems to be a severe lack of inner shadow / inner glow effects in general... let alone one that allows inversion.
Thanks!
You can do this with a black tilemap and some blur effect. Erase the tiles in a circle around the player.
Thanks for the suggestion. But it wouldn't be just around the player, it would be on the entire edge of mass. In fact, the game I am working on there is no single player character and is a large map with mountains and I want the inner part of the mountains to be black/dark, and only the outer edges to show normally.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
If you are talking about the fog of war effect, which is gradually removed as you explore the map, then I would suggest using a tilemap.
If you just want to permanently cover some areas on the layout, you can use static sprites.
