how do i draw a circle shadow underneath a character

UnknownUser

ive been trying to draw a circle shadow underneath my character so i tried to use $CircleShadow.translation = $RayCast.get_collision_point() but when i do this under process it acts in strange ways where the shadow moves faster than the character. how do i fix this?

get_collision_point returns a global position, if I recall correctly. I think you need to use $CircleShadow.global_position = $RayCast.get_collision_point() for 2D and $CircleShadow.global_transform.origin = $RayCast.get_collision_point()for 3D. That should fix the issue.
