[Essentials v16.2+] Overworld Shadows

[ClaraDragon]

The script also works in essentials 16.2, although you need to follow different instructions when you are editing Sprite_Character:

Spoiler:

Firts of all, Inside def initialize(viewport, character = nil), under @bobframetime=1.0/15' add:

@shadowoverworldbitmap = Sprite_ShadowOverworld.new(self,character,viewport)

Next, under:
def groundY
return @character.screen_y_ground
end
You must add this:

  def visible=(value)
    super(value)
    @shadowoverworldbitmap.visible = value if @shadowoverworldbitmap
  end

Afther that, inside def dispose, below @charbitmap=nil add:

@shadowoverworldbitmap.dispose if @shadowoverworldbitmap
@shadowoverworldbitmap = nil

And to finish, inside 'def update', below:, below:
if @character.animation_id != 0
animation = $data_animations[@character.animation_id]
animation(animation, true)
@character.animation_id = 0
end, paste:

@shadowoverworldbitmap.update if @shadowoverworldbitmap

And done, the script will work on essentials 16.2.
Another thing I want to share there is a little solution for the player shadow, when the player is transparent.

In the same line as this: NO_SHADOW_EVENT.include?(event.character_name) you must to put this: || event.transparent

And done, easily fixed :D

I just want to correct something in Clara's fix for v16.2:

Here:
"Next, under:
def groundY
return @character.screen_y_ground
end
You must add this:
def visible=(value)
super(value)
@reflection.visible = value if @reflection
end"
instead of adding "@reflection.visible = value if @reflection", you should add "@shadowoverworldbitmap.visible = value if @shadowoverworldbitmap" and then it works perfectly. You're welcome! :)

This is what happens to jumping shadows when we save the game. They enlarges and enlarges until the game is saved. Please fix this. I am using PE v17.2. Thank you.

I won't since I don't use that kind of pause menu. If you do that in a vanilla essentials you won't have that bug.

What it has do with Neo Pause Menu, because the time when the bug appears is the saving message time and not while we are seeing pause menu. New to programming and learning, so tell me if I can wrong.

Hey Wolf, is there a chance that you will update the script for essentials v18.1? It does seem to work, but when descending from a jump the shadow sprite seems to not appear until the character is on the ground again.

Did you rename TILEWIDTH and TILEHEIGHT to TILE_WIDTH and TILE_HEIGHT? If no, try it out and test it again.

Thanks you!!

The script is not compatible with v18.1. But, you can try searching for TILEWIDTH and TILEHEIGHT and replace them with TILE_WIDTH and TILE_HEIGHT.
