Hey everyone. I think I have finally found a theme for my last BT map. I just have a question that is driving me nuts. I can't seem to be able to make a shadow of some bars going across an opening in the ceiling. Can someone help me with this? I have tried a lot of different light effects and tried a lot with the bars themselves, I just can't seem to get it.

You need to put a light above the bars (as if to represent sunlight for example). Then select ALL surfaces that the 'sunlight' will shine on, go to their properties and tick the 'High Shadow Detail' flag. Rebuild it and you should see nice shadows Smile

Ummmm I tried that already. I put the lights above the bars and it didn't do anything. I want very dark shadows. All i am getting are barely visible ones. The bars are small thought only 16x16x256.

It may be that the light shining through the bars is also hitting the spots where the shadows should be. Did you place more than 1 light? If so try using just one above the bars and make it very bright.

Take a look at Capitulum, there is a room (just after the start) after the bit where you jump on some boxes that has the kind of effect you're looking for.
