shadows

[cassius]

Is there any way yet to give characters loaded in by code a shadow.

Have you tried

Just tried that but it didn't give characters a shadow.EDIT:: Ah I see theres more to it than just that.Thanks

[gamecreator]

I've never used that function myself so I'm curious (and for anyone else who reads this): what more is there?

Try Entity::SetShadowMode(Light::Dynamic)

[cassius]

Had no luck with that.

[Josh]

I really think that is the answer. That is the command the Map::Load function calls.

[cassius]

I must be getting the syntax wrong then. I presume Entity is my characters name.

This worked ok but only when on terrain. Indoors no shadows.

 

Entity->SetShadowMode(Light::Dynamic);

 

EDIT: This code only works if placed in main loop. Don't know why,but I am still learning c++.
