shadows thru floor

[cassius]

When an enemy character is killed in the upper floor of a house its shadow goes thru floorboards to floor below.I could turn off setshadowmode or try rotating the upstairs spotlight to solve problem.

 

But is it a bug?

Perhaps your character model sink or going throught floor or really upper floor ?

Make your character disappear after some time or with some effect or just position it lot more above floor , this should avoid shadows passing throught flor.

Yeah. When the character falls it DOES go partly into the floor.Maybe I can cut out a few frames near the end.

 

EDIT: But the whole shadow can be seen.

If you use SetPosition to put it really above the floor , does shadows pass throught ?

Simple solution : if player below character Y with some value : by code de activate character shadows

This may be the light penetration problem mentioned in a thread a few months ago.

Is this 3.0 or 3.1? It seems like the floor itself would block all of the light. It's hard to envision this without a screenshot.

@Cassius post a file with a short level map demo.

Setting shadowMode to Static when charater is dead gets rid of the problem
