This advanced video tutorial shows you how to make lighting in GameMaker Studio.

The idea is quite simple, you assign at the very start diffrent points (x,y) which are being used to draw lines between them. These points are being are also used to draw a sprite that functions as a background glow for the line being drawn. Then you flash it only for a brief amount which is under one second. And viola, a decend lightning effect perfect for every game.
