Lens Flare!

Hi eli0s, awesome effect!

Im trying to put the lens flare to an sprite object but something in the code wont let me, it has to do with the every tick->Hotspot line of code, i cant change the value mouse.x to a sprite.x.

Thanks.

bunnie , which part of the flare you want to be on a Sprite, the source (in my example the sun or mouse.x/y) or the other end which is on the opposite side? What effect you're trying to achieve? Can you provide a picture or something..?

Im trying to make the exact same effect as your demo but instead following the mouse x and y (sun) i want to follow a sprite object x and y.

I made the layers work (since i have only 3 layers in the game) but the lens flare only appears for a millisecond and its gone.

bunnie , have you tried replacing each and every mouse.X, mouse.Y in every expression with yourSprite.X, yourSprite.Y ?

Thanks a lot! made it work with that last capx.

This is where i got stuck with your first example file:

Thanks again, really cool effect.

bunnie , you are welcome!

love the post thanks! it helped a lot!

Also I think I expanded on it a little. what I did was add a paster object from R0J0hound's Paster plugin. this lets you have multiple effects without them cancelling each other out.

hope this helps!

sir LoLz , nice! The mysterious fireflies from the gritty forest!

made a new version. what is better about this one is it will let the color of the light source influence the color of the dirt on the lens.

The red and blue are extreme to show off the effect. if you balance the sprites out with white it would look more natural.

sir LoLz , that is very cool! I really like how the color pass to the lens dirt!

cool work! I like it.. although I'm more interested in the glow onto other objects.. I like that best.. I agree with newt I think it's an overused effect in film especially..haha.. like JJ Abrams and his Lens Flare Trek

It is overused. But i think its more so incorrectly used. Games and movies use it just to have it just like how all 80s songs sound the same. However i love the effect, but like other elements in a game it has to be used to improve the experience. Not just for the sake of it. When used correctly it is very powerful

hi Sir LoLz, can U post again the capx with this blue red blinking circles please ?

sure thing. Let me know if you do anything cool with it!
