Title: Can you make a sprite black when not lit?
Post by: MyNameIsDonovan on July 04, 2013, 06:50:52 pm

Hello all, its me again asking another possibly extremely noobish question.
I want my sprites to black out when there's no light on them, so things will remain "hidden" until the players light source hits them.
I tried using the tk2D shaders, but they just slightly grayed them out.
Is there a way to achieve this?

The first thing that comes to mind is that you'll need to turn off ambient lighting in render settings, and make sure you are using the tk2d Lit shaders..

Yup, I'm pretty sure it is ambient thats making it grey.

You guys are the best!!!
Although I couldn't find where to turn off ambient lighting, I just set it to Black. I'm getting the results I wanted so I'm happy :D

Thanks guys!

Lol sorry, 'turn off' = set it to zero = make it black, you did the right thing.
