So i would like to make a light for a vehicle in one of my games. This light would have to be visible, light a headlight. The point of this light is that the game is very dark, and i'd like it if i could turn on a light and focus it at something and have that be the only thing visible (dark wise). Tell me if you want more detail on what i'm talking about. Any help would be highly appreciated thank you!

In the video below I show one way of making a 'flash light effect', I'm sure this could be adapted to headlights as well:
The Gamesalad source files for this are available for download from my website, linked in my signature below.

you'd need to make a large black image in photoshop and make a triangular shaped 'hole' in it like I did with the circle shape. Then constrain that large image to your car so the 'hole' area looks like headlights.

@jamie_c holy crap huge fan of your vids! thank you
@jamie_c you kind of solved my problem but not quite, i downloaded your demo and its a giant stationary image, but how would i make it only shine towards a small angle, and i mean angle because i'm planning on making it a triangular headlight. Would i just have to make that in PS or is it something in gamesalad?
@jamie_c thank you
