Day/Night system using Colour Overlay

Tulamid's Colour Overlay Effect would make day/night systems a LOT easier, but... There's two main things to figure out.

1. The exact colourations and intensities needed for certain stages of the day, such as dawn, sunset and night (the third one is already provided), and how they'd transition over the cycle

2. Light sources "erasing" the effect at night.

Obviously, the erase effect doesn't work well with Light objects, so... I'm kinda clueless on how to get the second working. Yeah.

Current test cap for the night colouring, and a light source.

For point 2

A first approach: http://www.mediafire.com/file/9y744a1l39riel6/DayNightTest.cap

Light uses mouse behavior, make sure mouse is inside the window. This is just a first step, there would be the need of finetuning, and other solutions may be more efficient. But it's possible.

Brilliant!

I'm just starting to learn about Construct, but wanted to let you know how helpful this example is. It was exactly what I was looking for, and will be critical for the first project I have in mind. Thank you.

Can't get it to work since you changed the name of color overlay. Could you update the example?

Here you are

But see this as an approach only. There would be much work to have it the way you need it. Maybe chroma key is yet the way to go?

It still requests the Color overlay.fx file. Actually, now i seem to need both. I tried to work around it by copying the fusion.fx and renaming it so I'd have both, but it didn't seem to work.

I'm terribly sorry. I forgot some sprite's effect. Should work now. I updated the link in my post above
