No self shadowing

by ando · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/08/2007 (7:38 am) · 5 replies

When you toggle sun shadows in the TGEA demo mission and have shadows set high you get self shadowing on the orc character. The problem is the shadows dont seem to work in any mission other than the demo mission, the character casts shadow on terrain and difs but not on himself???

Checked if the light sources you placed are the correct ones?

It should work from the sun but does not

From sun it can be hard to spot the self shadowing as it won't be as "visible" as in the demo level for example as the light strength of the sun is lower than the one of other light sources by default.

Can you try it yourself and confirm?

Make sure the sun's parameters are the same in both missions. Also make sure the object isn't a TSStatic.
