Light2D

Casts light in a 2D environment.

Casts light in a 2D environment. Light is defined by a (usually grayscale) texture, a color, an energy value, a mode (see constants), and various other parameters (range and shadows-related).

Note: Light2D can also be used as a mask.

enum Mode:

MODE_ADD = 0 —- Adds the value of pixels corresponding to the Light2D to the values of pixels under it. This is the common behavior of a light.
MODE_SUB = 1 —- Subtracts the value of pixels corresponding to the Light2D to the values of pixels under it, resulting in inversed light effect.
MODE_MIX = 2 —- Mix the value of pixels corresponding to the Light2D to the values of pixels under it by linear interpolation.
MODE_MASK = 3 —- The light texture of the Light2D is used as a mask, hiding or revealing parts of the screen underneath depending on the value of each pixel of the light (mask) texture.

enum ShadowFilter:

SHADOW_FILTER_NONE = 0 —- No filter applies to the shadow map. See shadow_filter.
SHADOW_FILTER_PCF5 = 2 —- Percentage closer filtering (5 samples) applies to the shadow map. See .
SHADOW_FILTER_PCF7 = 3 —- Percentage closer filtering (7 samples) applies to the shadow map. See shadow_filter.
SHADOW_FILTER_PCF9 = 4 —- Percentage closer filtering (9 samples) applies to the shadow map. See .
SHADOW_FILTER_PCF13 = 5 —- Percentage closer filtering (13 samples) applies to the shadow map. See shadow_filter.
