I didn't create the original scripts, and as of now the links that Near Fantastica put up are down (and he can't get to them) and his RMXP system is down. Given that he posted the original (though broken) demo links here, there should be no problem to post the script.

Instructions
Plug and play. Place above Main. You will need this image for it to work though.
Rename as LE.png


Place that in the "/Graphics/Pictures" folder.

Say you wanted to get a light on one of your fireplaces.

First create the event with the fire graphic and place it in a fireplace.

Next open your event commands window and create two comments. The first comment should say "Light Effects" (without the quotations.) The second comment will specify which type of light you want (fire, ground, lamppost, lantern.) Since we're creating a fireplace the comment should read "Fire" (without the quotations.) The trigger can just be left at action button and you want to check your "stop animation box" (since it's a fire we want it to move right?) Anyway that should do it.

Test play and it should look like the screenshot.

The comments for the other light types are in the script.


Compatability
Designed for RPGMaker XP. Shouldn't have any problems with other scripts.


Take Care,
Near

Enjoy,

Cool Script. But for some reason, the ground, lamppost or lantern effects aren't working.. The fire effect worked. Anyway Nice script!
