As far as I understand, the function to add light to the player/character has not been implemented yet?

Ok, the plugin has been updated to allow for player light, and some other Quality of Life updates as well such as plugin commands and a menu for creating the lights so you don't always have to remember the Syntax in a lot of cases. Should be good to go.
Thank you! I’ll definitely test the plugin within the next couple of days. I really like how it handles screen tinting and how simple it is to use.
There are only two things that caused some issues for me:
– The inability to give the player a light source.
– And… this one is probably minor or insignificant for most people, but in my case, it’s quite noticeable.
When using very dark locations with multiple light sources (for example, torches in a cave), their spherical light and the sharp transition between light and darkness tend to break the visual atmosphere of my maps/levels — the edges between light and shadow look too round and harsh.
I hope you might consider improving this aspect someday.
But this is just a suggestion, not a demand.
Once again, huge thanks for updating the plugin!
1 Yeah, it would be great to have a function that adds a blur or diffusion effect around the edges of a light source — to make its contour softer and more natural.
2 Sources:
phase 300 120 #E06502 #b64500 0.1 0.2 0 1
fire 120 #00FFFF 1 0.1 0.2 0 11
By the way, I’m not sure how important this is, but —
when trying to disable a light source with something like this:
fire 160 #00FFFF 1 0.1 0.2 0 21
nothing happens.
It seems that adding transparency via 0.1 0.2 and setting the coordinate with 0 somehow breaks the light ID disable system.
Or if you remove part of these parameters, the light source gets displaced incorrectly.
If you remove 0.1 0.2 0, then 160 #00FFFF 1 21 disables normally and nothing gets displaced.

Thanks for the heads up, it's probably a bug that I didn't see when I was doing my tests, this helps me make the plugin better for the future, thanks again!
