    Hi guys.

    I want my character to hold a flashlight in some darker scenes. I`m using the spot light node for this, but is there a way to avoid the light shining through walls etc? If I want it to look like he`s inside a building. I want the light to not shine outside of the building at all.

    Any tips?

    I assume this is currently not possible to achieve in BB, but could it be done with a custom code? If so, I’d be interested

    Check that you do not have a gap between the wall and the ground. And check collision shape for both.

    Yeah, that is not the issue. You can create a box with correct collision shapes set up, place the spotlight inside the box, and it the light still goes through..

    I wonder why it is always visible at ground level.
