Hello, i making a horror game and i need dark effect in my game. I looked up some videos/forms for this, but all of them just showing making game’s lightning dark but i dont want to make my game dark. I just want to add dark effects to specified objects. Like dark interiors, but not dark outside. I looked to effects section in studio. Some people saying you can use smoke for that, but it doesn’t look like darkness, it looks like it’s smoky. How can i do this? :confused:

You want invisible shadows or something like that?

By the “effect”, you mean particles? if so, then you could use default particle emitter instance and using it’s property’s named Size and Squash as they have their editors which allows you to edit their appearance. You also can change the color and texture of particles.

There is bug to make invisible shadows you need to create part change material to ForceField and then you need to change transparency to -99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 (change it until it will be -inf)

What is a dark effect? Can you show an example of another game having it?

It’s not really recommended to use bugs as they’re can cause issues on the client depends on user system.

That’s just a transparent black SmoothPlastic part?

#13

no, look outside, outside is darkness, and i want to make a dark effect like this

#14

It could just be fog, or multiple black transparent parts stacked on top of each other to fade the visiblity the further out.

#15

idk but when i use fog from lightning, full game is being dark and i dont want that. i just want to make interior/specified objects darker.

#16

So make multiple black transparent parts stacked on top of each other to fade the visiblity the further out.
