Hi guys, I've been making a game project recently which I wanted to add some relatively basic lighting effects to. I really struggled with anything I found online and basically everything seems broken. After researching alpha masking and texture rendering at runtime I've come up with a demo which finally puts the entire piece together so people can use it. I really hope this makes a difference to peoples learning experience, their games and their appreciation for PixiJS. I welcome any mods to the pen as I'm not the best at writing super hot JS, I just want it to work. The demo includes moving a light cookie, changing its alpha, and overlaying a rectangle to emulate day/night - all which blend together nicely. The code can be found here: Thanks a lot guys, Some footage inside a working game demo can be seen here: And some more of my game concept can be seen here: This is the effect it has when used as lighting in my game, keeping in mind i have extra shadows on the tileset: Jammy.

I've been playing around with pixi-layers for a few days now and I've noticed 2 things: The layer.on("sort", ...) callback is being called continuously (on each tick if I had to guess). Each elements within layers have an updateOrder attribute that's continuously incrementing: Screen Recording 2020-06-04 at 21.38.49.mov All of that lead me to believe that layers are being continuously re-sorted (I may be mistaken), and I was wondering what was the point of doing such thing? Wouldn't be better to listen for an element's zOrder to change? This behavior can be observed on the example files as well.

Hello I have problem in understanding how pixi layers work. I want to make some layers like top one, mid and bottom. I want to add players to the top layer, enemies to mid and move dead enemies to bottom layer. I tried to do this, but my sprites are invisible now. Can you provide minimum working code for pixiv4 for my problem? I init player this way: this.player = new PIXI.Sprite(texture_hero); this.player.anchor.set(0.5, 0.7); this.player.x = cords.x; this.player.y = cords.y; this.player.visible = true; container.addChild(this.player); This is how i init pixi: var type = "WebGL" if (!PIXI.utils.isWebGLSupported()) { type = "canvas" } const app = new PIXI.Application(1000, 800, { transparent: false, backgroundColor: '0x000000' }); document.body.appendChild(app.view); //var layer = new PIXI.display.Layer(); //stage.addChild(layer); var container = new PIXI.Container(); app.stage.addChild(container); My game is quite big and its hard to select code to post it here to explain my problem. If something is unclear i can post more. Thank you for your time

Hello i have some problems with pixi-layers.js. I want to move some sprites to top. I use pixi.v4 with this script: https://github.com/pixijs/pixi-layers/blob/layers/dist/pixi-layers.js Error message i get: pixi-layers.js:705 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined at pixi-layers.js:705 at pixi-layers.js:744 I add pixi layers in index.html this way: <script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script> <script src="https://pixijs.download/v4.4.2/pixi.min.js"></script> <script src="src/pixi-layers.js"></script> <script src="src/keyboard.js"></script> <script src="src/client.js"></script> What did i do wrong? Thank you for your time.
