How do I make something like a conical street light in a 2D side scroller platformer? (Much like that what is used in Mark of the Ninja)

Hi All,

I am extremely new to Unity (I have gone through a lot of tutorials, even the advanced ones and I am good with coding) and I have started on my first project. But I ran into a hurdle immediately. I want something as shown in the image attached. I want it to look like a street light spreading over a certain area on the ground. I tried using spotlight, but I don’t know how to make it work in a 2D side scroller. How do I make it work?

Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

Create a triangular mesh/sprite in the shape of your light cone. Place it on top of other objects in the scene, and assign the particles/additive shader to its material.
