foreShadows.lua - I see you back there!

Something I whipped up in a few minutes. Shows where players/NPCs/etc. are behind foreground objects.
Similar to dropShadows.lua, should work with pretty much everything, but partial transparency may cause issues.

Will it be possible to limit functionality of this script to specific BGOs and after triggering specific events?

It already is. You just have to change BGO.config[id].priority at runtime, or swap a layer with BGOs on one priority to BGOs of another. All it does is compare priorities.

Code: Select all

-- Priority where sprites will start having a "shadow".
foreShadows.backPriority = -59
-- Priority where sprites stop having a "shadow".
foreShadows.middlePriority = -21
-- Priority where sprites will stop causing sprites to have a "shadow".
foreShadows.forePriority = -16

This means that any BGO with a priority between -21 and -16 will cause sprites to have a shadow. So a BGO with priority -15.5 would not.
