ShadowTiles

Second condition a shadow-casting tile set must satisfy before any of its tiles is marked as a caster.

Specification

File

Section
[<TileSet ID>]
Value
integer
When omitted
0No tile of the set is marked as a caster, though the set still takes one of the five caster slots.

Any non-zero value lets the tiles of a ShadowCaster=yes set cast shadows, and 0 stops all of them. The key is read only on a set with ShadowCaster=yes.

TEMPERAT.INI
[TileSet0010]      ; example cliff set
SetName=Cliffs
FileName=CLIFF
TilesInSet=40
ShadowCaster=yes
ShadowTiles=40     ; any non-zero value has the same effect

Despite its name, the value is not a count and cannot limit shadows to some of the set’s tiles. Which tiles cast a shadow, and which shadow each draws, depends only on the tile’s position in the set, as ShadowCaster describes.
