Hi,
i tried to add dynamic shadows to a staticObjectData and tried following:
Unfortunatly it didn't work.
I found the shadow commands in the player.cpp from the playerData and thought i could use that.
Do i have to manipulate the staticShapeData datablock in the source code or something to get it work with the dynamic shadows?

datablock StaticShapeData(Schattentest)
{
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/rocks/rock1.dts";
category = "Schattenobjekt";
shadowEnable = true;
shadowCanMove = true;
shadowCanAnimate = true;
shadowSelfShadow = false;
shadowSize = 256;
};Unfortunatly it didn't work.

Dynamic shadows should work for anything that inherits from ShapeBase. That's pretty much everything except for TSStatic objects.
