Shadows and Reflections...

[Dollet]

Hmmm, I'm probably doing something very stupid thats making this not work..but heres the thing..

Right now, I'm using the Sun Effect script and Reflection script by Rataime. I have an event of just of one of the thief's that was included with RPG maker, and I made a comment in the event with "r" so he will have a reflection. Then I realized that he didn't have a shadow from the sun, so I made a SEPARATE comment under the first with just "o" so now he SHOULD have a shadow.

But... for some reason, when I play, it will only pick up the first comment. So I either will have just a reflection or just a shadow and not both.

How can I make it so this event will have BOTH a reflection and shadow?

Thanks.

Try a comment with both in but make sure their on seperate lines:

r
o

If that doesn't work, not sure, although I used to have this script.

This is very strange hehe..

I have two scripts here that are dead easy to use and work, let me post them:

lol, those are the two that I'm currently using
=D

With these you have to use Begin shadow and Begin sun not o or r, lol.

"r" and "o" work also. I think the longer ways were made, such as "Begin Shadow" so that the original "o" does not interfere with other scripts.

Well if you haven't tried it with them, I suggest trying it now, if not, Sorry but I have no idea.

Well, I tried "begin sun" and that got rid of all the shadows hehe


Thanks for the replies though!
