Viewing Thread: Trouble with shadows

13 February 2005 01:22 (UK time) I have been making shadows on my maps and they arent coming out to well. What I mean is changing a sector to "Sector is shadow: True". The sector appears fine, but when I have objects, or the player object walk under it, they dont become darker, they are lit as if they were normally walking on a lit sector. Any help with my problem? *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

I tried making it a roof sector, but when i did that, it for some reason made the shadow void and set it so it didnt act as a shadow and made it show the texture as a roof and not the shadow . Its another thing to do on JB's list for future versions . You need to login to create posts in this thread.

14 February 2005 02:22 (UK time) Yah but I am pretty sure I have seen an object dimmed by a shadow sector before though... what am I doing wrong? (can dim be used as a verb?) *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. Edited: 14 February 2005 02:23 You need to login to create posts in this thread.

14 February 2005 23:56 (UK time) Darn, Then I guess I'm not doing anything wrong. A roof sector wouldnt make a telephone pole look right, since a roof sectors shadow just redraws the sectors. I'm just going to have to deal with it. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. Edited: 03 March 2005 22:37 You need to login to create posts in this thread.
