Dynamic shadow casting (0.95)

Quick demo of the Light object casting shadows off objects with the Shadow Caster behavior.

You'll need the Light.csx hotfix, because I stuffed up the release one (it should prompt to update on starting Construct).

Uses pixel shader 2.0.

That is so awesome.

I can almost feel an update to ghost shooter with walls and shadows

NOT IF I GET THERE FIRST!! MWHAHA

awww i'm on a computer without pixel shader 2.0 right now so i can't run this =(

Very cool effect! Would be pretty nice in some sort of horror game.

It's nice indeed.

Would be even nicer with control over the alpha of the shadows

In Common properties of the Light object, the opacity is the opacity of the shadows drawn.

Yay Ashley ahead of things again

Edit: I see I missed it because I was looking for a sprite with a behavior. >.<

Dammit! I'm going to buy a new graphics card as soon as i can. i really need ps2! Could someone create a non-ps version in the meantime?

Software rendering?? Dude no way it will lag as hell, thats why they invented Pixel Shaders and Vertex Shaders.

Doppel: Attan means a .cap not using any pixel shaders, which is still hardware accelerated.

The Light object itself doesnt require any pixel shaders, I just used them to make the lights look fancy. Here's one without any shaders:

Oh its not Pixel Shader only? Well then he could just set "Run without PS" since its a .cap file or just delete effects.

I didn't find the objects that had effects, and i didn't think about the run without ps option.

Thank you very very much Ash! This is one of the most awsome features in construct so far! Is there any way to make it support multiple light sources?

Yeah, you can just put in multiple light objects, but you won't get anything very useful unless you play around with opacity. In this example, I use two lights, each on their own layer with 33% opacity, so the only darkened areas are where neither light can reach. This doesn't use any pixel shaders.

Sweet! But is it possible to do with round lights like the first example?
