Shadow Caster Question

Is there any way to create shadows like this with the shadow caster?.http://krypton.codeplex.com/

Is this what you mean?

Not exactly.The light deforms around the blocks as you move the lightsphere around.It's easy enough to do this with Xna ,But i have no clue on how to create soft shadows within Construct's shadow caster.Maybe it's got something to do with the z axis.Look at the videos on that link i gave previously then you will see what i mean.

I've looked through both videos and the only thing I see in those, that isn't in that example, is the shadows covering other objects.

Unless you mean the smooth edges of the shadows, I'm not sure if this can be controlled from the shadow caster behavior/light plugin.

Hey i got it right <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle"> I just had to give the light object a blur H and blur V effect to get the soft shadow.

here's the cap.I made it with Construct classic R 1.2

SoftShadowEffect

Oh sweet, glad to see it works after all. Thanks for sharing DravenX =D

Thanks for this. The only bad thing about the blur thing is that it makes the edges of objects glow (in the shadows).

Is there a way to tell if an object is in the light? For instance, I may want objects invisible unless you can see them.

Set the collision detection on the "light" sprite to bounding box (or better yet, make a tight circular mask) and test if it overlaps with the objects? Seems like that would work.

You can already test collisions with the light object, but it still detects them when they're in shadow.
