  I'm trying that now, however, the texture of the wall turns black whenever I use the shadowlight.

  Yeah, I was able to get some of it working. The part I cannot figure out, is how to make the flashlight light break off like I half a**ed drew, whenever it hits an obstacle.

  The light will also break around enemies.

  That would essentially be my way of showing what the LOS is.

  Can't seem to get it to do what I need. How would I set it so my flashlight light will cut around anything that it hits?

  Can I use that to create lighting that will only illuminate parts of the level the flashlight light hits?

  Yeah, but I want that LOS to be visible by flashlight

  Edit: So if the LOS breaks, the flashlight's light does too, around the object.

  I'm trying to get my lighting to clip around objects like this.

  In my game, things cannot move if they have light on them.

  The idea is that when the lighting "breaks" around a solid object, or another enemy, whatever is behind it will be able to move, now that it is in the "shadow" (just some area with no light) of something else.

  Also, for it to work even better, can you make your LOS a cone that only reaches so far?

  Thank you so much!
