How do I make layers cast shadow to the background?

The title explains it all.

I thought on using css shadow on an entire layer, but doing that doesn't seem possible.

I want to do something like ShamanShh did on that image:

Just copying and pasting sprites won't be enough, since particles should cast shadows too. Is there any way of doing it?

Try Paster plugin. You need to paste all objects which you want to cast shadow (or the entire layer) to the Paster object, then move it a few pixels to the right and down, and apply some effect to make it grayscale.

did you just place the installed paster plugin into the plugins folder for construct 2? or did you create a folder called paster,placing the paster in that folder and the putting that folder into the plugins folder? (Ik I said folder a lot)

Well, of course you need to place files into the "Paster" folder. Just look at how other plugins are organized and do the same.

I gave you the link to the Paster plugin in my first comment! Just download it and install, how hard can it be?

drag and drop the c2addon file directly into the editor

— You didn't read the second link I gave you... I posted it here twice!

Installing new addons (.c2addon files) Recently developed addons are installed from a file with the extension .c2addon. Simply download the .c2addon file, then drag and drop the file in to the Construct 2 window. Construct 2 will prompt to ask if you want to install the addon. If you approve the install, you must restart Construct 2 before the addon becomes available.
