another waste of time

Been a while since I posted anything. This was an idea about trying to create line of sight/ shadows in a quick way following on from a question over in the forums.

Anyway I thought it looked kinda good ...

No interaction in this version - I will try to play around with it over Christmas and see if I can come up with something a bit better.

Hope you like it.

This is amazing! I really would love to learn from you when it comes to how you were able to implemnt shadows around solids so nicely.

I am making a sandbox game and that is exactly the style i need if i want things to have a realistic feel for lighting purpose.Fantastic work and thank you for showing me this.

Glad you like it. After I have tidied it up a bit I will post the capx. Probably busy for the next couple of days so I will aim for 27th.

here is another test .

and again

maybe a little 3d ish ?

still playing with shadows but also trying to fake line of sight...

lost in shadows ?

I will tidy up the capx and post it if anyone is interested ?

Hi RamPackWobble

By all means, please do post the capx!

Thank you,

Greg

Slightly tidier

A change of direction.

When trying to use line of site I wanted to make my objects hide behind the other line of site objects. I found that making all my objects solid just made them all invisible. Anyway this is a work around test.

I bet there is an easier way ?

line of site test

I will tidy up the capx and post soon.

Another method of doing shadows...

hi and thank you for this. :) keep up the great work.

Maybe one day someone will implement proper shadows as a plugin. Until then this is the best place in the entire forum on doing a hack.

Looks even better with horizontal and vertical blur effect added.

The only issue with that is you have extra 25 (or more) objects for every shadow casting sprite.
