Light Around CampFire

What all do i need to do to make it be a light area around a campfire when its lit when its dark outside (from screen being faded)?

thanks
 
thats works nice man to light up the surrounding area, but I cant get it to stay in one spot....it follows me around instead of staying on the campfire.....

I tried constant on the x,y, but what else do i do?

thanks again
 
That's because a 'picture' displays in the viewport, not the map.
It's not really following your character (you can see this if you go near the edge of the map, where the character is not centered.),
it's remaining at the same location on the screen.

For lighting effects, I usually use a fog, which gets located on the map, rather than the viewport.
Another option would be to make a character set with your 'glow' effect as one of the poses, and use an event on the campfire with that graphic (no animation, Direction Fix ON).

Be Well
 

Thank you for viewing
