I lost my shadow

by Robert Brower · in Torque Game Engine · 11/11/2002 (9:08 am) · 2 replies

I noticed today that when I'm in first person view, I cannot see the shadow that my player casts on the ground but when I switch to third person view it is there. I also seem to be having problems finding shadows in general. I see some in waterworld mission near the entrance to the cave, but otherwise it's hard for me to tell if something isn't maybe broken because there is so few shadows.

Is anyone having similar problems finding their shadow?

Do you have renderfirstperson or whatever it is on? It's likely that you don't, and it's not rendering your player in first person. If you have it on, and you can see your legs, arms, etc, in first person, and you don't have your shadow, then you did something.
