The silhouette system should be pixel-perfect and support static tiles and animated objects. A wrought iron gate should only silhouette the specific parts of objects covered by the fence and not the holes. The silhouette system should work with their object-based visual effects. The silhouette system should require as few parallel variables as possible. Silhouettes should obey this draw ordering. The silhouette system should support different coloured silhouettes for different types of object orange for enemies, blue for the player, green for items etc.
There are a number of pre-existing systems that have been described in GameMaker. Here is a relatively well known and popular solution:. This means wherever a player pixel and an occluder pixel cross over, a silhouette colour is drawn to the surface.
This has a number of deficiencies — firstly, it requires constantly drawing and redrawing tiles to the screen any time the view or player moves. This is hugely wasteful of resources. Secondly, it only supports one actor at a time — the player. This solution works somewhat differently and is, in some ways, much cruder. Every frame, a surface is cleared black. The player is then drawn to this surface in a pure white colour, maintaining transparency, but not colour information. The surface is drawn to the screen using a shader that only draws pixels that are grey.
This application is also flawed, though in a different manner. This method requires redrawing to the screen every frame, due to drawing the player to the masking surface. Whilst this creates a somewhat accurate end result, this method fudges a lot of the fine detail through the use of an approximate inequality in the shader. Edge cases can also break — if an occluder has a low alpha highly transparent or many occluders overlap in once place. Unlike the previous example, however, it can support multiple actors although only with one colour of silhouette.
