I Sprite Shadow, Check this out Rating Options

[Cloudspawnater]

Hi, Everyone here is a script that allows shadows,
Don't really know if anyone is looking for this but it's here anyway.

How to use:A shadow is created when an opaque object is near a light source, so in the event that is the light source (example:fire) put a comment (on page 1) and simlpy write 's' (without the apostraphys)

Pics or it doesn't work.

You have to put a comment on events that you want to have shadows with "o" without the apostrophe's .
I'm still having a look at it..

[JekHazit]

I edited the picture so you can see the shadows effects.
The farther you are from the light, the lighter the shadow goes.
The shadow also stays at an angle away from the light source, even when you move.

My problem is that it only works on the hero, and not on the events.

And the comment is "s"

Theres a really nice script out there that lets you add shadows that are effected by sources of light. So as you walk by, the shadow moves in an appropriate manner as if it were a real shadow.
