Shadows - ferryadams10 - 06-07-2011

Hey all,

I am working on a custom story and want to make it as good as possible (for me then Wink)
So I'd like to know how to get shadows of objects etc when in the light.
(I mean the shadow of the object on the ground tho)
And mostly the light goes just right through the object.
Just real randomly the shadow appears sometimes.
But I want to know exactly how now. Angry

Kind RegardsAngel,
Ferry Adams

I know that spotlights can cast shadows but I'm not sure how, or even if it is possible, objects can cast shadows themselves.

make sure you've vinked the cast shadows in the light options and in the entites options. i'm not sure i've it possible to get the shadow of a static object, though.
you should then make some custom scaled light Wink
