What am i doing wrong using Pixi-layers for basic sight ?

[pierre75fr]

Hello, my game project is a little bit similar to this :

https://jsfiddle.net/2kznra41/5/

I'm trying to make the screen darker and to remove this darker effect around units, but it is not working and the sight effect is just a black circle 

i don't understand why, i inspired myself with the lighting example https://pixijs.io/examples/#/plugin-layers/lighting.js

Thanks for help.

a few fixes:

1. spr.drawRect(i*32, j*32, 32, 32)

2. app.stage.addChild(lightingSprite)  . lightingSprite should cover everything, it should be rendered after all elements of the map, its the resulting texture of all your lights.

3. 0x000000 ? those circles are doing nothing.

Even with all the fixes, I dont see the exact problem. Maybe its because its 2:40AM here. 

Check layer _activeChildren if they were actually dynamically added.

I fix some point with your comment, but like you said still the same problem

what you expect with _activeChildren exactly ? i got a empty array on lighting,

it means layers dont work. check if stage.updateSomethingIDontRemember() is called from render method

No one can help on this one? seems like you'll have to wait when i have free time on it.

btw, one guy just added simple example for layers: https://pixijs.io/examples/?v=v5.2.4#/plugin-layers/bringToTop.js
