How to set shadow color?

[hexed delta]

i have a CanvasModulate and a PointLight2D on the player, how can I make the obscured tiles be the same dark blue color as the background? the CanvasModulate color seems to only work on the light shadows

My first instinct is to make a shader that takes the light mask and multiplies it with the on screen color, and then you've pretty much got full control

but honestly idk myself how to get the rendered light from the pointlight2d

I came across this thread which seems similar https://old.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/vc660b/is_it_possible_to_limit_the_darkness_of_colours/, but their solution is not working for me

[dapper gyro]

this is the closest I got

having the shadow be completely white

[hexed delta]

how did you get that?

[dapper gyro]

On the "shadow" color, I raised it all the way up

the self modulate thing didn't work so ignore that

[hexed delta]

works kind of?

[dapper gyro]

Kinda?

I've another idea I wanna try

[hexed delta]

the far away tiles are still black, but I think I'll just put some giant colorrects to obscure those parts

this is for a game jam anyways

[dapper gyro]

It's because the light source casts shadow only to it's boundary

[hexed delta]

yeah I meant the tiles that are still inside the pointlight texture

wanted to make it fade to dark blue instead of black

[dapper gyro]

I think that might depend on the radial texture you're using

try to have it be a gradient from white to transparent

[hexed delta]

setting it to white -> transparent makes it lose the shadow effect 🤔

[dapper gyro]

Try from white to a black transparent color

so it's just a white gradient, that fades to nothing

[hexed delta]

that's what I have I think

[dapper gyro]

mm, and that reversed progress, i see

I've managed to get this effect

there was a tire behind it c:

[hexed delta]

I think i'll just go with this effect for now, it works well enough

big pointlight with pure white texture and set to mix
