Light Detector for Stealth & Horror Games Made in Unity

Every Unity stealth or horror game will benefit from Lumi, a fascinating light detector created by Carow. The tool works great with directional, point, and spot real-time lights, allowing you to set up detection mechanics more easily.

Carow shared that for real-time lights, rays are traced to the sample points to see if anything is occluding. "If not, we use the same light calculations the URP Lit shaders use to find the intensity of the light at the sample point. For baked lights, we either sample the light probes or the lightmap."

Here are the detector's features:

• Supports directional, point, and spot real-time lights.
• Baked light support via light probes and lightmaps.
• Accounts for perceived brightness from colored lights.
• Runs in editor for quick iteration.
• Multiple sample points per detector.
• Two sample point evaluation modes: average and max.
• Disable Updates and manually update when needed.
