Hi everyone, I've been really enjoying the site, the resources are fantastic! I just started making a game and was kind of familiar with rpg maker vx ace, but still have a lot too learn. With some things I got from the community I just began to learn parallax mapping. I have some quick questions I need help with.

So, for starters what do you guys think of my parallax mapping?


I was also wondering, and cant figure this out. You see below my character there is a lantern on that tree stump? Well I have also made a night/day system and I want to make it so that at night time, the lantern is lit up and has a radius of light around it. How would I do this?
- I've tried to do a basic event with switches, but the light is either always there, or never there. I used a conditional branch of the variable, hours, when hours was > or = 16, a switch would turn on.. but I cant figure out how to show the light when that switch is on?
- I thought about trying an event spawner, but failed to understand it! Would that be the solution?
- And yes, I could put parallax map the light there, but i'm already using kaus ultimate overlay plugin, and have a ground layer, a par layer, and a light layer. And I want the light layer there all the time.

Well, that is all.. Thank you everybody!
