Thank you again for this awesome plugin!

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it working with LayeredImageProxy. It always gives me one of two errors:

When using outline_transform() directly:

File "game/outline_shader.rpy", line 244, in <module>
    u_width float(width)
            ~~~~~^^^^^^^
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a real number, not 'MultiBox'

When using a transform that makes use of outline_transform():

File "game/outline_shader.rpy", line 247, in <module>
    u_line_color Color(color).rgba
                 ~~~~~^^^^^^^     
TypeError: 'MultiBox' object is not iterable

I got these in a sample project simply by doing:

layeredimage eileen base:
    always "eileen.png"
image eileen = LayeredImageProxy("eileen base", [outline_transform()])

I'm happy to provide more detail in case there's a specific part of the error message that would help!

Looks like this is a quirk of how LayeredImageProxy handles transforms with arguments - you get a similar error if you try to use a transform like

transform test(a=0.5):
    alpha a

and use the test transform for LayeredImageProxy. It's expecting to receive the child as the first argument, which you can get around via

transform outline_test(child=None, width=1, color="#fff", smoothing=1.0, end_color=None,
        num_passes=1, gradient_smoothing=None, is_mesh=True, mesh_pad=False,
        drawable_res=False, offset=(0, 0), smoothstep=True, power=None):
    outline_transform(width, color, smoothing, end_color, num_passes,
        gradient_smoothing, is_mesh, mesh_pad, drawable_res, offset, smoothstep, power)(child)

and then use outline_test instead of outline_transform for your proxy. Hope that helps! Might be worth reporting to Ren'Py honestly since it seems unintuitive that it causes this issue.

Thank you so much for the quick reply, it works now!
