Mounted object shadow

by Andrew Edmonds · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 08/29/2008 (10:32 am) · 1 replies

Hi all,

Our main player model has a number of different armor pieces that can be mounted - these pieces really bulk out the character. The problem is, the shadow cast is just the base player model because mounted objects don't seem to cast shadows.

Does anyone have a way around this?

Many thanks.

    OK, I found this old thread here but obviously things have changed quite a bit since 2005!

    I've had a scan around the code and am getting a little lost in it at the moment! I've temporarily replaced the mounted object with a mounted image which works perfectly as far as shadowing is concerned. The only problem is I need the armor piece to have it's own damage level and I need projectiles to be able to collide with it so an image just isn't going to work.

    I'm really stuck! Any help would be hugely appreciated!

    Thanks.
