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

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.

Yeah but they designed the checkbox method to be more efficient. Don't think anyone actually works in that interface view.

Oh fantastic thanks! I had tried storing it as a string variable, then doing the token count on it but that didn't work. Although setting it to text in a text object seems to work well!

Thanks DtrQ, do you know how I could count how many there are (3 in this case)?

Using the File object, there's an expression "get directory list" which basically gives you the names of all directories in a directy. I had a string which was being set with this. It outputs stuff like this: {"directory1","directory2","directory3"}, and the expression editor says its an array and I don't know how to handle arrays that are in expressions? I was wanting to count how many directories there were, I tried using "get token count" but the expression editor says that you can only use token stuff on strings and does not work with arrays. Anyone know what I can do?

There's an expression that's placed in the wrong category, "get last key down" is under the "mouse" category when it should be under "keyboard".

Yeah they don't allow you to use the word Construct, had some of my posts censored there.
