City Lighting?

[CynicSyndrome]

I'm attempting to create a multiple lighting effect for a city. To be more specific I want to light up every street lamp on map 70x70. How do I get the picture shown to remain still as the player moves about? I am especially interested in doing this without plugins, if possible.

There are numerous plugins to accomplish lighting layers and shadow layers etc. I personally use Galvs Layer Plugin, with this plugin you can place your lighting images in a layers folder you create, then you can set up the layers in a common event to run before the game starts, or you can set the layers in a normal event, it's up to you. Either way it's rather simple to use, and there are scrolling effects for fogs as well.
