Flash light effect

[Who?]

I want my character to hold up a flash light when a key is pressed,that part isn't the proublem,i want to have it so that a small area of the backround will be lit up brighter than the rest of the area+if you run into a box the player will be able to stop and say something like"I better check the box".Can any one help me?

[Ishmael]

um.... what are you trying to do here..?  

[AJA]

check a-v-o's flashlight plugin at the plugins page (goto agsforums.com -> download -> plugins (if I remember correctly)). That should be easy enough to use...

+if you run into a box the player will be able to stop and say something like"I better check the box".Can any one help me?

This one needs to be cleared a bit for me...

draw a region next to the box and when ROGER "steps onto it", make it display message "I better check that box"

hope it helps

If You ever played alone in the dark,you could turn your flashlight on and shine the light on to a monster and the monster would get hurt,insted of a monster if I could have a box and when you shine the light on to the box Roger could say somthing?

My guess is this, it is possible and when you manage to script the light coming from the flashlight, you´ll only have to set some x,y positions, but then, I dont know how to do it. I bet I only made you more confused

Well, if you suppose to use flashlight plugin all you need is to check out whether the centre of flashlight circle have been directed right on the box. Then show a message.
