Top down flash light

I’m making something like a top down survival horror, and im trying to make a flashlight, all tutorial i found say to use a spot light but the spot light seems to phase light through walls like they arent there, like theyre clear or made of glass. I was wondering if theres any way to make a light that casts a shadow like a real one but is directed like the spotlight. (I tried the point light but it only really creates light in all directions)

Hi TheBlackRanger,

Do you have any screenshots of what you’re seeing on your end? I’ve used the TopDown template and setup a simple spot light attached to the character.

So some things that would be helpful to offer you any help would be:

  • Screen shot of the issue in your level
  • Your spot light and settings and image of it with your character from the BP editor.

Thank you!

Tim
