Establishing Light Detection

Detecting whether the player is in light or shadow was the first priority.

To meet the team's need for quick playtesting, I focused on building a simple, fast, and reliable system. The prototype I created ended up being used in the final game.

How It Works

• 🔆 Enter Light Volume - Detect when the player enters a light detection zone.
• 🔍 Light Source Check - Trace from the light source to the player.
• 🌓 Shadow Detection - If the trace is blocked, the player is in shadow; otherwise, in light.
• 📐 Dynamic Scaling - Light radius adjusts automatically for easier placement by designers.
