Can I use SetSpriteColor to only color certain parts of my sprite? I have a drop shadow in it that I want to keep the color of while changing the color of other parts of the sprite.

Maybe with Memblocks looping through each pixel and only changing certain pixels in the loop i.e. the bottom ones or looping through and changing the colour of every pixel except for the black and transparent ones.

It seems like it might be a lot easier to maybe remove the shadow from the sprite though and add it to another sprite on it's own and have it constrained/fixed to the main sprite so that it follows it when it moves around the screen. If the main sprite is animated meaning the shadow is animated too then just make sure that both sprites have animation applied and are in sync.

I would agree with Kevin. Remove shadow from the main sprite and make a 2nd sprite for the shadow. Set shadow depth below the main sprite and move it along. You might be able to even reuse your main sprite image if you just set the shadow sprite colors to all black and play with its alpha channel.

Different layers of sprites. That's how I did it in my Barbarian game; character stayed the same but could tint the clothing color for different players.

without creating sprites drawsprite command can be useful.

Each layer is it's own sprite and you just position them on top of each other?

You could also use a mapping image which could be controlled via a simple shader. So the shader looks at the secondary image applied to the sprite and if it finds a specific colour it shades that pixel.

Phaelax I think has the easiest and possibly the fastest solution

I was going to add could use a shader but Baxslash has already suggested it
