Flashlight for horror games

[Masquence]

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and I haven’t seen any horror games that I know of use this.

Is this, in any way possible to make in roblox?

I don’t see any way of doing this. (Yes I know I could just use a gui for this but using a gui would ruin the environment of the game)

This system looks like it could work very well for this use-case!

"Dual Render" Scope System

Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR A PRODUCTION GAME ENVIRONMENT. It is an interesting tech demo prototype, but is absolutely an abuse of ViewportFrames. Note that it slows exponentially- the more objects, the slower it gets. I’ve optimized plenty, but it is not enough. Before we begin: What is a Dual Render scope system? It is a system that allows the game to make the scope a separate render, so the player doesn’t lose peripheral vision. It’s a bit hard to describe, so I’d rather just sho…

You could insert a SpotLight into the player’s head facing forward, and lock the camera to first person. You would most likely need to wait for phase 3 of future is bright for higher resolution lighting as seen by the screenshots.

Those games use a shadowmap based flashlight (which is why the light also has a texture). This will probably become possible with the 3rd release of FIB.

If I remember correctly, BillboardGuis with a white image kinda fade out shadows behind it and could be used to achieve this effect pretty well.
