Is it possible to mask a sprite with another sprite?

I'm trying to create a shade on objects of different shapes. Say you got blob 1, blob 2 etc. and I can pin a circular shade on it, but I won't the excess to be cut off and not shown. I pin it because I want the blob to rotate, but the 'angle' of the shade must remain the same, so it's set to pin to position only.

I tried a few masking .capx but they all involve masking whole layers.

So more like a clipping mask. Or is this not possible?

Thanks.

OK, perhaps I should clarify.. this is what I'm wanting to achieve in Construct 2:

Thanks!

Hey, thanks!

That works great. I did notice however that when the sprites are overlapping eachother, the shadow is visible on the other sprite. And thus not cut off in that case.

Is there a solution for this?

Also, this might not be entirely related, but I also wanted to prevent overlapping when the sprites are created. Basically the sprites are randomly created from four sides (left right top bottom), sometimes they spawn in almost the same place, there are three sprites spawned each time from a side.

I'm thinking using some sort of 'solid' or physics technique, but I think this will have unwanted effects. They're just simple bullets that always move exactly towards the center of the screen (as they're supposed to).

Thanks again.

Yes, I meant when the red sprites were overlapping.

OK, so I just used many layers and some global variables to call them on seperate layers. That works. Setting each layer to force own texture.

I couldn't find that specific masking effect on that topic though.

Thanks for your help!
