Heya, I recently bought this asset on the official GameMaker website. I've been working with it and am adjusting things to the needs of my project.

There is one thing I want to change, but I'm not sure how to, except if I change a lot of things that may break something else: I want there to be a light source around the player, but I do NOT want it to create any shadows.

I know I can disable shadows from objects, but I want it to stay enabled for other lights. I want the shadows only disabled if there is light from the player. Making shadows have less of an effect to the light of one source but a larger effect to another light source would also be something I'd like.

How would I be able to do this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Use an emissive sprite to draw light without shadow.  A transparent or semi-transparent one would work well as a player light radius
