Glow Effect Not Working as Intended Using WorldEnvironment Node

generalcorn12

Hi!
I added a WorldEnvironment Node to my player and set glow up, and can see it working in the 2D view, however when I run the program the player sprite doesn't glow at all and in fact the background map glows. I have set it up so that the play-field and map contains the player but that shouldn't be affected by the world environment glow?

Any ideas on what I should check? i.e. a script might conflict with the glow, or things like visibility layers? (they're all on the same layer)

Thanks!

Hi,

I ran into something similar before—usually the issue is that the glow only affects emissive materials, so double-check that your player sprite has emission enabled in its material. Also, try lowering the Glow HDR Threshold in your WorldEnvironment—it might be too high for the player’s emission to register. Lastly, if your player is on a different CanvasLayer or viewport, it might not be affected by the glow settings.

Hope that helps!
