Certain entities make light in the darkness. This is most visible in Mines dark rooms, and with Curse of Darkness. The way this is done is with a null layer in the .anm2 of your Entity.

Creating a light layer⚓︎

To create a light layer in an entity's .anm2, create a new layer. Make sure you tick the "Null" box, and make sure that the layer name starts with an asterisk (*).

Creating a null layer

  • Edit the Scale X and Scale Y properties to change the size of the light.
  • Edit the R, G, and B properties under Tint RGB to edit the color the light.
  • Edit the Tint Alpha property to edit the brightness of the light.
