Question Light Affected Particles 2D

I'm trying to make a game about keeping a campfire lit, in order to see. I want everything outside of the fire radius to be obscured. I've just used lights to darken the other objects, but the cloud particles (shown by the arrow in the picture) won't respond to the light no matter what sorting layer I put them on.

I suspect that it's due to the material, which is currently Default-Particle, but I don't know what to change it to.

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Good bet. Default-Particle is actually mapped to this:



Try perhaps this one:



I can never make this one work the way I want with PNG files, so I use a TGA file, which can actually represent full-alpha. Texture is also included in complete scene - try toggle the light. Be sure to set your scene lighting fully black in the Lighting Window.

 

Update: I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but I'm using the universal render pipeline which has a different system for materials.

Using your assets didn't work for me, and they stayed in full clarity regardless of the lights affecting it.

I'll probably just resort to using a layermask, but I'd prefer not to.

If it makes a difference, I'm on 2020.3.32f1

 

There will be an equivalent (or analogous) option. I cannot tell you what it is because I haven't used URP enough. But I assure you it is there.
