Are you asking about Fog of War?

Here's a tutorial for a 2D top-down game, might not be exactly the kind of isometric projection you are looking for but should be adaptable. He is drawing the mask from mouse position, you might want it to be from some player controlled units distance perhaps instead.

the thing when I start moving the mouse it start spotting everything, looks like more an eraser function than the desired :s

Megalomaniak

Yes as I said above, the tutorial author is drawing the mask from the mouse cursor, you'd want to likely use your player or units location instead.

If you need help figuring that part out post your code here so we can help.

I got a problem

@nitrogamestudios said: I got a problem

The error says the fog variable is a string, not a node. Based on the screenshot, it looks like fog is a NodePath, not a node, so you'll need to get the node first and then change it's scale:

var fog_node = get_node(fog)
fog_node.scale *= GRID_SIZE

Now I have this

Comment out line 46 by adding # right before it, as the code is still trying to apply a scale to a string rather than a node.
