How to make sprite glow when hit

Unity Engine

Hi guys, was wanting to make a system where the sprite will glow slightly when getting hit, similar to like how Cuphead is doing it. Can anyone teach me how? Thanks!

I have no idea about that but you could try this:

  • add a light that has “draw halo” ticked,

  • add a flare to the light so that the halo effect can be smaller and more concentrated,

  • disable the light,

  • enable the light via script each time the sprite gets hit.

You’ll need to add a material to your sprite though, if you don’t have normal maps for it, otherwise the halo will not show.
