Light and shadow effects in construct2

Hello everyone,

I'm working currently on a little project where I need to integrate an effect of light and shadow, is there a way to do it in Construct2 ?

I want the objects that have the attribute "solid" to block the light.

Something like this

Thanks for the help

Not possible as far as i'm concerned.

Yes, it's possible, you need to find an example on FAQS thread, ive seen an example is similiar to your idea

clone sprite, adjust size and position relative to light source and origin, use filter to make it black enough, ..., profit!

Joannesalfa: I did check before posting here, didn't see anything close to it( Can you post a link ? ) .

Goury : I didn't understand all you explanation , can you develop please ( or may be post an example)

—, the official "light and shadow" for C2 is on the todo list.

What Goury said is clone and deform the cloned object to appear like a shadow. But it'll be insanely hard for you, so, it's better to wait for Ashley make it officialy for C2 or use a plugin (what will make your game unplayable on the Arcade)

look in forum for examples abaut shadows

Dont worry, the r100 of Construct 2 is going out really soon, and it counts with WebGL Shaders.

So I mean r100 contains Shadows shader.

r100 doesn't contain a shadow effect, or at least won't at launch.

This effect was in Classic and it's possible in the WebGL renderer, but it's more difficult in the canvas 2D renderer... I'm not sure if it will be possible in canvas 2D, and if not, we might hold off implementing it.

Awwww, I'll be hopeful that its in a future release! Its an awesome feature to have.

What about Illuminated.js ?

paulocoghi : illuminated.js shouldn't be used in production, since all lightning calculation are made on Canvas, too slow to be realtime when you have other things to calculate in parallel (like the whole gameplay, physics, or Sprites movements).

Dang, I wish there was an easy way to pull this cool trick off.
