Simplest Way of Lighting Areas?

[cakeowns]

Basically, I have placed a lamp in an empty, dark room. When you walk towards the lamp, and press the action button, I would like it so that the lamp, and a small area around the lamp lights up. Does anyone know of the easiest way to do this?

Thanks.

This would involve creating an event with two event pages: one with a light, and one without a light.  Here are the details on each event page:

Event Page 1
Graphic: (none)
DirectionFix: on
Conditions: None
Trigger: Action Button
Commands:

@>Play SE: '032-Switch01', 80, 100
@>Control Self Switch: A =ON

Event Page 2
Graphic: Any light graphic (e.g. 184-Light01)
DirectionFix: on
Stop Animation: on
Conditions: Self Switch A is ON
Trigger: Action Button
Commands:

@>Play SE: '032-Switch01', 80, 100
@>Control Self Switch: A =OFF

I hope this helps.

Eh, that would be cosmetic lighting, no need to bother Reivy when there's already a good tutorial out there for it :wink:

Poccil's method is a lot easier, but if you want better effects you can make fogs and rather than changing graphics like poccil stated, you can use the "Change Map Properties" function and change the fog.
