Possible to make a spotlight?

[RedBlob]

I know we can use regions to darken or lighten a specific area, which is great. But, what about brightening a specific sphere of influence, like the area surrounding the mouse?

For example, the mouse acts like a flashlight/torch, making specific areas brighter when scrolled over.

Is this possible?

Yes. There is a spotlight plugin, for one.

Another thing you can do is create a GUI that's completely black but has a transparent hole in it, and use repeatedly_execute_always to move that hole over the mouse cursor.

You might want to check out monkey's flashlight module which does exactly what Radiant suggested.

Actually I think he's looking for something else..

What exactly do you propose he's looking for? Granted I'm not saying my module is perfect, but it does seem to fit his description.
