2D Dynamic Lights and Shadows Effects Optimized For Mobile - Martin Ysa

mmm no exactly but i believe within 30 days.
subscribe to my list for updates. http://eepurl.com/baW-mf

 

I'm also having the problem others have had:

IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.
DynamicLight.setLight () (at Assets/2DLightAssets/2DLight/DynamicLight.cs:302)
DynamicLight.Update () (at Assets/2DLightAssets/2DLight/DynamicLight.cs:158)

It happens when I add new colliders at runtime, when the dynamic light script detects them.

Anyone find a cause / solution for this?

 

Hi dc5774,
Are you adding Colliders with path for holes?

 

Hi Guys, i have some advances for new version of 2DDL. I just render this scene in 0.45 ms and it has 60 boxColliders2D and 2 Cookie Lights (Gradient texturized). Which means 60X4 vertices X 2 lights X 6 Light segments = 2880 operations by frame and still down 1ml!! only 0.45 ms !



* Of course also:
-) New types of lights (Included texturized/cookie lights)
-) New Casters (included compatibility with all 2D Colliders - box, circle, edge!)
-) And a lot of more things...

 

For The "free package" guys, just released a new beta of 2ddl free. Unity 5 support . Enjoy . https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/24083

 

2DDL Pro 1.3.1 has been released ! Thank you for making it worthwhile.

With new teaser Trailer! thanks to @Rodiaz89

 

Does these shadows work also with Sprites with normalmaps? It would be great, does your light work with normalmaps?

 

Hi @giorgos_gs , It can work with sprites, meshes... that is indistinct while has a corresponding collider when shadows is casting.

 

It's a bit silly to ask as I've read through everything and I know this, but just want to check before buying.

I'm looking for a FOV solution to plonk onto enemies (with different possible ranges, change colours between states etc etc) that will detect the player.

That is part of the pro version, right?

Thanks

 

Hi Ashley,
Yes! FOV implementations only is available in PRO version. Include onFOV, onEnter and onExit events.

 

Thank you for confirming! I'll be buying the pro version shortly.

 

Just seen this is reduced today so I'll pick it up. Laziness pays off sometimes!

 

Starting playing around with it but finding myself coming unstuck. Tried experimenting and looking at your guide (http://martinysa.com/2ddl-documentation-cover-explosion-and-shockwave-bomb/) but having no joy so I hope you don't mind me asking.

The intent is for this to be used on enemies to have a field of vision to spot the player and when they do kick off events which I've already written.

I have attached a light with the appropriate radius and field range that I want as a child gameobject of the enemy. I have put the enemy in my 'Enemy' layer. I have a player and put it in the 'Player' layer. I've set 'Use Events' to true.

I'm unsure/would like clarification on the following please:

1) If I give the enemy (who has the light) a collider it immediately prevents the light from showing. How do I get around this?
2) For the event to work, what should be looking out for what? I've changed the Layer to both Player and Enemy but I'm really not sure if 'Layer' is referring to the layer it should be looking for, is currently on, should be avoiding or what. Judging from the example scene it seems to be what its looking for (Player) but trying that I'm still having no joy.
3) Should 'Reached Event Manager' be on the object to the be found (i.e. player) or the object that is looking (i.e. enemy - with the light also attached). Again judging from the example it's the thing being found, but not having any luck with that.

Sorry for all the questions. I have looked at your tutorial but I can't get it to fit my needs.

Thanks.

Hi, I want do with my friends one game with the shadows very particular. In specific the shadows must be clean and hard. For example look this image in below (DeChirico) for understand the problem.




The game is top-down like Zelda.
Is it operable with this plugin? How? Thanks for answer!!!

In addition is there a light like global directional light (all the scene is illuminated for a specific directional light)?

 

Hi!
2ddl make the shadow like a simple polygon, so this mean that isn't copy the Sprite silhouette for make the edges . If you want make simple tests you can download the free version. Ask all you want.

Hello,

Would like to ask about how to handle image transparency (alpha) with Sprite Occluded material? It seems it won't render correctly:



Are there anything wrong with the settings?



Thank you

 

Hi Timotius,
yes is an error inside the shader.

open: 2DDL/2DLight/Shaders/occluded.shader

and replace the line 112

Code (CSharp):

1. return _OccludedColor * c;

with:

Code (CSharp):

1. return _OccludedColor * c * c.a;

Greetings.

 

Perfect!

Thank you for your response

 

Hey @Nimda001_2 I don't think "Lens Flare" feature is compatible with Unity 2017.1. Has anyone experienced the same?

 

Hi @Nimda001_2
does this work with circle colliders? im currently getting a invalidcast error but if i change it to a polygon collider it will work.
im currently trialing it out on the free version with unity personal, do i need to buy the pro version for it to work?
cheers

 

One question before buying - does this asset work with Lightweight Render Pipeline? Because LSRP gives a considerable performance boost on mobile and WebGL I'm switching to lightweight render pipeline. Some of the assets I use like AnyPotrait and Amplify already support LSRP.
