Abstract
Make a circular shadow underneath characters.
Dependencies
AGS 2.72 or later
Functions
function Shadow.SetPerspective(float factor);
Set the perspective factor of the circle. The default is for the
height of the circle to be 0.15 times the width
function Shadow.Disable(Character *who);
Turn off the shadow for the specified character.
function Shadow.Enable(Character *who);
Turn on the shadow for the specified character.
function Shadow.SetOffset(Character *who, optional int y, optional int x);
Set the y and x offset for the specified character, for example
if they generally have a lot of blank space around the edge of
their frames. Default offsets are 0. If you pass only 1 parameter, the
x offset is assumed to be 0, which is usually right.
function Shadow.SetRGB(int red, int green, int blue);
Set the colour of the shadow. NB pure black shadows (0,0,0) do not
become transparent, so the default is (35, 35, 35).
function Shadow.SetTransparency(int percent);
Set the transparency level for the shadow. Default is 80%
Configuration
By default, all characters in the current room will have shadows.
Example
Just add the module, and everyone will have shadows
Caveats
Animated background frames mess it up.
Walkbehinds don't work on the shadow.
