Good morning to all Agser!
I have a gGui2 with his graphic that match with a DynamicSprite to get the screen totally black..
Secondly, i draw a circle at the foot of the character to fill a part of the black screen..
just like in the picture :



Thirdly, i draw a rectangle to improvise a stream of light that follow the circle distance..
like this :



I'm here to ask for an opinion from all of you,
now my intention are as follow : how can I tilt the rectangle when the mouse goes above or below ?
I edited the picture for you to notice what I would do :



Could someone help me with this ?
For all eventualities, I will post the code here

Code: ags

DynamicSprite *dark;

int lightx[220], 
    lighty[220], 
    radius[220];
 
int count;
export count;

void Light(int i, int x, int y, int r) 
{
  lightx[i] = x; 
  lighty[i] = y; 
  radius[i] = r;
}
 
function Darkness() 
{
 dark = DynamicSprite.Create(System.ViewportWidth, System.ViewportHeight);
 
 DrawingSurface *surface = dark.GetDrawingSurface();
 DrawingSurface *surface2 = dark.GetDrawingSurface();
 
 surface.Clear(0); 
 surface.DrawingColor = COLOR_TRANSPARENT;
 
 surface2.Clear(0); 
 surface2.DrawingColor = COLOR_TRANSPARENT;
 
 int x1 = GetViewportX();
 int y2 = GetViewportY();
 
 int i = 0;
 while (i < count) {
    if (right) surface.DrawCircle(lightx[i] - x1, lighty[i] - y2, radius[i]);
    i++;
  }

 if (right) surface.DrawCircle(mouse.x+3, mouse.y - y2 - 40, 90); 
 
 else if (left)  surface.DrawCircle(mouse.x-3, mouse.y - y2 -40, 90);

 surface2.DrawRectangle(mouse.x, player.y-70, player.x+5, 70- player.BlockingWidth+150);
  
 surface.Release();
 surface2.Release();

 gGui2.BackgroundGraphic = dark.Graphic;
}

Thanks to all of you who are reading the message

Try with a dummy line with a big thickness:

Code: ags

surface.DrawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2,thickness);

By the way, unless i'm missing something I dont see the need of using 2 different surfaces.

Thanks Joe for answering

Try with a dummy line with a big thickness:

Code: ags

surface.DrawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2,thickness);

Well, I have tried many methods but it does not seem that this could help my request..
i guess it must be the same rectangle that do the stream of light, not a different line again

Just compiled a test game with this code in the room script and it works...

Code: ags

DynamicSprite* dark;
function room_RepExec()
{
 dark = DynamicSprite.Create(System.ViewportWidth, System.ViewportHeight);
 DrawingSurface *surface = dark.GetDrawingSurface();

 surface.Clear(0);
 surface.DrawingColor = COLOR_TRANSPARENT;

 int x1 = GetViewportX();
 int y2 = GetViewportY();

 surface.DrawCircle(mouse.x, mouse.y - y2, 40);
 surface.DrawLine(mouse.x, mouse.y, player.x, player.y-20, 20);
 surface.Release();
 
 gGui2.BackgroundGraphic = dark.Graphic;
}

I'm Sorry i misunderstood your intentions !
