Re: Light shouldn't go through opaque blocks

I made a game where there's a house, and in the basement, there's a lightbulb. The problem is the light from the lightbulb goes through the ceiling and lights the floor above too.

I'm sure many others experience the same problem. That's why I think light shouldn't go through blocks that are opaque.

I know I can make the floor 4 studs thick, but that wouldn't look as nice. ROBLOX please. Patch this.

If you haven't, make sure 'Shadows' is enabled in the light's properties. It's not perfect, but it's certainly better.

Anyways, I still support this. It shouldn't even be 4x4 blocks that light can't get through/causes the darkest shadow, it should be something like 0.1 x 0.1. It's the transparency that determines the intensity of the shadow.

This is a great idea :D

Maybe this could influence Roblox staff to consider working more one the problems in-game than the actual site itself. I always did want sharper shadows, kinda like in old times where you would have a accurate shadow following your character...

This is also a great idea because then you can make a perfectly dark room without scaling something out too far. SUPPORT!!!
