Shadows

OK, this may end up being easy but I cant firgure it out. How can you manipulate shadows to make windows have light or have3 it radiate from candles and stuff like that. I have tried many ways and cant come across the solution.

Changing the light in windows is as easy as changing the outside lighting colors in the building editor.

Making a candle glow is a little harder as you'll need to attach a visual effect (VFX) to the candle that will create a glow around the candle. For a more realistic effect, you should darken the area outside the range of the candle.

OK, I understand about the candles, but I dont understand the first part. Like what if I wanted a window that only let light in when opened, and even though the room gets lighter theres also a ray of light in the window and stuff.

Within the dungeon editor you can change the direction of the 'light' and manipulate the shadows. As for the 'ray of light', do what Warden said with a VFX. All of the controls for this can be done with a flag/variable if you want to maintain it's status when the character returns to said area. Pretty sure you can do the same thing with the 'light'/shadows in maps, but haven't tried yet.
