Summary

Hi, I'm trying to have an image move like with "Move Picture", but with the image itself actually anchored to the map, not the player's viewport. So I have resolved the second half of this problem via the TDDP BindPicturesToMap plugin, but from what I can tell, you can't move the image - you can unbind, show the image again with the target coordinates, and rebind to the map (as below), but then you don't get a tweening effect as you would with moving the picture, so it looks janky....

Essentially this is to produce the effect of a shadow coming over the player, but the player should still be able to move around as normal.
Any ideas for how I can do this? Is there another plugin that will allow me to do this? I'm guessing the answer will be JavaScript - I know JavaScript, but not so well in an RPG Maker context, so I was hoping to be able to avoid it (but will do so if needed).
