Awesome addon, really added something to my game!
 
I have 1 little problem though, how do I destroy the lightning surface? When I return to the menu, the lights and the surface is still there, even though I disabled the lights.
 
I tried:
 
Deactivating obj_engine, didn't work,
Disabling all lights, didn't work,
tl_free();, didn't work either.
 
Couldn't find it in the examples and the documentation site either  

nikurizo: Really strange, tl_free() should remove all the lighting system. 

 

Could you add a function to clear all the lights of the system? I hate to use tl_free() and tl_init() every room change.

There is tl_light_delete_all() !  
download the latest version 
 
TehWave:  You can draw on the light surface, if you want.
You can retrive the id using tl_get_surface()

Is it at all possible to use this lighting engine in unity with a fog of war system? 

 

I don't want to see the lighting that's behind the wall when I'm on the other side.

 

Could I use a tile-based fog of war system if a surface-based fog of war system isn't possible?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

just hide other lights when they are not in collision with player's light, simple...

could you create function that will make light ignore specified object and provide light normally ? like it's on top of something and walls doesn't bloc kit

You want it to cast no shadows for that specific object?

yes, or just to cast shadows for instances that are higher/lower depth, I want to create some kind of "lamps" on spots, for example on the keg and it's projecting light to everything but the things that are higher than the lamp, just like in real life, I hope u understand

It could be done by saying

 

if place_meeting(x, y, o_player) {
     with (o_player) {
          tl_shadowsprite(id)
          tl_shadowsprite_intensity(id,0)
     }
}
else {
     with (o_player) {
          tl_shadowsprite(id)
          tl_shadowsprite_intensity(id,0.1)
     }
}
 

 

However, this would only remove the shadow if the object(o_player) is in collision with the object with the light.

 

Alternatively, you could try collision lines or circles, but I sincerely doubt this is anything but an crappy workaround.

thanks! I will try it after I'll be done with networking

edit: actually I need specific light that will ignore the objects and just project the light as it was in empty room
