Shadow Texture Path

[TheWhiteWolf]

Does anyone know the path of the texture used for shadows?

i dont thing exist something like that, also have a way how to destroy it if u need that or what u want with it?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I would like to destroy ITEM shadows if possible. If not, then I would like to destroy all of them.

that idk sure,but i heard with unit worked well the removeing image, so i guess must be similiar with items too

this was about units

maybe try it with items

Couldn't you simply set the unit to not have a shadow? Or was this not what you're looking for?

EDIT: Just realized you wanted this for items, not units. Can I ask why?

Sometimes I don't want shadows on items when they're actual objects such as a baseball bat on the ground. It just looks ugly. I unfortunately don't know how to remove the shadows.

Because a little apple just looks stupid with a shadow 10 times larger than itself.

I think this is the path

function CreateItemWithoutShadow takes integer iid, real x, real y, string shadowfile returns item
    local image i=CreateImage(shadowfile, 64, 64, 0, 0,0,0,64,64,0, 3)
    if GetHandleId(i)==-1 then
        debug call BJDebugMsg("CreateUnitWithShadow: Invalid path for new shadow!")
        return null
    endif
    call DestroyImage(i)
    set bj_lastCreatedItem = CreateItem(iid, x, y)
    call DestroyImage(i)
    return bj_lastCreatedItem
endfunction

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_077_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call CreateItemWithoutShadow('ratc', -400, -1000, "ReplaceableTextures\\CommandButtons\\BTNMortarTeam.blp")
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_077 takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_077 = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterPlayerEventEndCinematic( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_077, Player(0) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_077, function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_077_Actions )
endfunction

Thanks mate! I implemented that into map, and it works fine. BUT! Sometimes, selection circle remains around item even it is not selected. Sometimes yellow, sometimes green. It appears around random items on the ground, and it disappears just as random.

Any clues why this occurs, what exactly occurs, and how to fix it?
