Cone of light

Is it possible to create a cone of light with the light and shadow caster objects? For example, for use in making a flashlight.

You could sandwich the light object between two shadow-casting rectangles like this:

And, of course, if you just want one cone you can always cap off one end with another rectangle.

Is there any way you can get light to reflect off a surface?

There might be some really complex way you could fake it, but it's not actually supported.

No, reflecting isn't supported yet. Also, if you use a blank texture in the Light object, the shadows still draw - and you can use a cone-shaped Sprite for a cone shaped light.

But then you have the problem of the light casting shadows all around it instead of just where it's pointing.

I think I found a good way of doing this. I make the light sprite look like a torchlight, but have black space all around it, so it looks like it's not lighting up those areas.
