Hi. I'm doing top-down perspective.
I need to create a shader for a ceiling that is transparent, so the player can see inside a building, but casts shadows, so that the sun doesn't affect the interior.
I've tried every combination of flags I could think of, but Godot stubbornly turns off the shadows as soon as there's any transparency.
How do I do this?
On your shadow-caster GeometryInstance(MeshInstance, ArrayMesh) in the inspector there is a drop down for Cast Shadows with one of the options being Shadows Only.
Heh, didn't occur to me to check the mesh settings.
Thank you!
@MadMinstrel I’ve changed this topic into a question and marked @Megalomaniak ’s post as the answer. When creating a topic if you click the down arrow on the right of the New Discussion button, there will be a drop down that says something like New Question if you want/need to ask a question. By marking the topic as a question, you’ll be able to choose whether posts are the answer and it will come up in search results as a question.
It isn’t an issue either way, but I thought I’d mention it in case you didn’t know :smile:
Gotcha! I had noticed that before but forgot it this time around. Sorry about that.
No problem and no reason to apologize! It's all good :smiley:
