This is the right place for Ren'Py help. Please ask one question per thread, use a descriptive subject like 'NotFound error in option.rpy' , and include all the relevant information - especially any relevant code and traceback messages. Use the code tag to format scripts.
Sorry if it's not the best place for this kind of topic.
There is a tutorial in the Ren'Py default package, when we have a background and a black layer on it, and then a circle moves around the screen, cutting out a hole in black layer and letting us see the background. As far as I remember it's called "Flashlight".
I've been wondering if it is possible to make the same, BUT with the ability to controll the circle? I want to bind it to a mouse pointer, so I could move the flashlight myself.
I'm not really good in Ren'Py so I'm asking for your help. Will be grateful for any tips or advices
This would be better in the Questions thread than in the Cookbook thread.
Nonetheless, here are three threads I found that details what you are asking about that I found by searching for the term "flashlight."
A Close Shave:
*Last Thing Done (Aug 17): Finished coding emotions and camera for 4/10 main labels.
*Currently Doing: Coding of emotions and camera for the labels--On 5/10
*First Next thing to do: Code in all CG and special animation stuff
*Next Next thing to do: Set up film animation
*Other Thing to Do: Do SFX and Score (maybe think about eye blinks?)
I was sure I'm aware of using search function, but I haven't seen those topics. Feel embarassed now
Anyway, big thanks for you response, I don't need this topic anymore.
