I remember back in the old days when ROBLOX had the type of shadows that actually Took the form of objects. Now, when dynamic lighting came out they took that away and started to base the shadows off of global lighting. Don't get me wrong, this was a good update. But, I would still like the ability to see shadows that actually takes the form objects as they do in real life.

Constructive criticism is supported in this form. If you are going to disagree with me, tell me why.

I don't think so. But it would be cool to see those kind of shadows.

Those are called stencil shadows. I think they should add an option for them, but of course it would be optional since not all games match it.

Yeah I already saw that blog post a really long time ago. But i'm not interested in it. What i'm interested in is what the above post said about this being scriptable. I want to know if this really is possible. And if it is, tell me how to do it.

Support, realistic shadows can really make a game look amazing.

"Scriptable."

Maybe, but it would be so much more easier and save more time than having to script it.

You're stinking up the subforum.

Scriptable.

If ROBLOX added this as a FEATURE, it'll ruin so many games/override some updates.

Hide and Seek for example, shadows will give away your position. Just one idea.

If you read any of the other posts, the creator could choose if they want that in their games.

many game creators have scripted shadows into their game.

i'm not the best scripter but i'm pretty sure this can be done.

2010 lighting: http://puu.sh/jfyOd.jpg

2015 lighting: http://puu.sh/jfyUJ.jpg

I like how roblox dampens the lighting nowadays, but i still want it to take the form of the object like in 2010
