ShadowTiles

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

Specification
Applies to
tile controls
File
theater control 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.

The key is only looked for on a set that already carries ShadowCaster=yes; on any other set it is not read at all. What the figure then does is decided by whether it is zero, and nothing else: any non-zero figure marks every tile of the set as a caster, and zero marks none of them.

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

The name suggests a count of the tiles at the front of the set that cast a shadow. There is no such count. Which tiles cast what is fixed by the shadow table ShadowCaster describes, and the figure here never reaches it.
