    in my game (2.5D) i have platforms sprites and player with sprite as shadow.
    i need that the shadow sprite will be cut off where the platform ends.
    does sprite mask will help me to achieve this?

    I would say, yes it could possibly be used to solve that. But a bit more info would be helpful. A screenshot or something would be good.

    something like this....

    the shadow should be masked out on left side of the red line.
    i saw that to achieve this the shadows need to be child object of the platform... is that right?
    it means that i will need to re-parent the shadows object every time i move to new platform....

    If the mask is set as a Global Mask then the shadow can still be child of the player.
