How do I control the lighting in a Scene?

[Raybrite]

I have a dungeon and I want to make it a bit darker. Is there some way I can do this? I haven't found it in the help file or these forums.

Thanks, Ken

Yep.

F1 will give you the help file.

You can use the Tint Screen event command (page 2, under Screen).  If you put it in a parallel process event and give it a 1 frame duration, then follow it with an Erase Event command, the screen should be tinted before the map fades in.

Thanks. It doesn't have a preview box so I had to go back and forth a few times.

What is the frames and wait sections for? I unchecked the wait so it would begin right away.

 Thanks again.

That's how long you want it to take to change.  If you wanted a gradual change, you'd have a larger number in there.  And the wait is so it will wait until the change is complete before processing the next event command.

Thanks. I am a slow learner.

60 Frames = 1 Second

Maybe this is helpful for noticing how much time you need to wait
