Draw only parts of objects

[Etcher Squared Games]

I'm fairly sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the right words to search for.  So, my apologies up front if this exists in the board.  Just point me to threads if they exist on this question...

I would like to show only parts of an object.  Sort of a "flashlight" affect... I only know how to show all or none of an object.

thanks

do you want an all dark room, and have the cursor act as a flashlight circle?

there is a flashlight plugin for that. otherwise, it would be essentially impossible.

it's a bit complicated.

I have objects in my room that can range from the entire 0 - 100 percent transparency.

I want a cursor such that items that are still 75+ transparency to move to 75% trans.  It would look cool if it was only parts of the object that is within say 10 pixels of the cursor.

No, that's not currently possible. Or you'd have to split the object into four or nine partial objects, and transparentize them as appropriate.
