The way the shadows change are so cool. This is a neat lighting effects script.

[Azareal]

I'd recognise that theme anywhere, Mirai Nikki opening?
Lighting seems to look alright though.
Would be good if the character itself had a shadow though since I don't see one in that video.

Thomas Edison VX fades in comparison to this masterpiece! You sir are amazing!

EDIT: Question! Let us imagine that one day we get an "Overhead Ceilling" script for Ace (I'm hoping everyone is familliar with), and so the player can go underneath the ceilling and behind the wall. Now, I noticed that in this script, the shadow from the wall will start on the ceilling's edges if the player stands above it. But what if I used the "Overhead Ceilling" script, and had the character holding a torch go behind the wall, the shadow should realistically begin at the wall's base, no? So, any chance of this script getting that modification?

P.S: I tried to explain it the best I could, if picture is needed for better understanding I'll provide it

WHoa. I am glad i stumbled upon this script and then i opened it to a nice surprise. Very nice and unique looking. Mad Props =Like +50

I saw this last week on another site. This script is amazing. I wish it was for VX also.

[Khas]

Thanks everybody =D

I didn't understand it well, can you explain better please?

Alright, here's the deal. In this first picture I marked my issue, it would seem that ceilling is casting the shadow, and not the wall (which is pretty weird, no?):



Now, considering that the wall is two tiles high the shadow should actually begin at the wall's base (Marked in red lines), which in this case is two tiles bellow the ceilling. So, the blue line marks where the shadow should really appear:



I hope this clears things up a bit.
So is it possible to make this at all? Thanks in advance

[Khas]

Now I understand
Everything is possible. I'll make an special version with this kind of "correction".

However, I'm a little busy these days, so I think I'll be able to make this change next week.
When I finish it, I'll post it at my blog and here.
Thanks for this awesome sugestion!
Bye o/

[~NeXy~]

Yay! Thank you so much! Please take your time

[Khas]

Are the light effects over your messages? Read here how to fix it! http://arcthunder.si...earn-to-fix-it/

~NeXy~
I did try to make it, but I ended with a crashed geometry xD
I will think more about this.

[MISTER BIG T]

This is so fantastic, I am in total awe! I love the lantern effect, this will be perfect for my horror game!

[Lionheart]

Great script!!! But if I go to the command change tone screen and if I select fof exemple the command "dark"... nothing happens. Why?
Can you fix this please???

[Khas]

@Lionheart
This isn't a bug. Please read the instructions one more time.
You have to activate a command, setting a constant to true.

[MISTER BIG T]

I have a question. Can you make so that events, such as say foes would react to your light source of the lantern and come to explore what it was? Meaning you'd have to snuff out your fire and be still in the darkness? And once the foe does not find you they move away?

[Khas]

Well, this isn't part of Light Effects, but you can make it!
Once you have full control at light sources, you can make that system with events and all the stuff.

[Michael Deaton]

What script lighting settings can I use to make the lighting look like normal day time instead of night?

[DJPrichard]

Is it possible to make screen completely black? So that only light comes from character with flashlight? Also is it possible to change range of light?

As I understood from deep research, I need to make pictures in Light folder and connect them with script?

@MistTribe
Just put a little opacity on the effects surface.
You may test it with white color.

@DJPrichard
Yeah, it is.
Change the effects surface's opacity to 255, it will be completely black.
To change the light's range, just create an image with the desired range, but read the script and follow the image making rules!
