How to stop my zasleh from casting a shadow?

[Abs]

Hi all,

As it says in the title, my zasleh casts a shadow. I've selected the proxy, pressed E, and completely unchecked the Enable shadow option. To be safe, I did it in the zasleh p3d too. To clarify, this is in a pistol.

I've tried searching both this and the arma forum for 'zasleh shadow' and nothing relevant came up. Any help is appreciated, as always.

you are not using the default zasleh proxy?

[Abs]

Nope. It's for a phaser.

is the flash proxy in the shadow lod? does it have a shadow lod?

[Abs]

Nope, it's not in the shadow lod, and yes it does have a shadow lod. Want to take a look at it? It's a really simple model.

throw it online, if I have the chance I will take a look, but time is tight its sleep and write thesis for me maybe someone else will have a look before I wake up.

Sent Soul a PM with the location, but here it is just in case anyone else wants to take a look: [removed]

Perhaps if you try...

Create a Geometry LoD in your 'STA2_Type2Zasleh.p3d' with nothing in it. Make a LoD Prop called 'sbsource' with a value of 'none' and a 'autocenter' with a value of '0' in this Geo LoD.
In the 0.0 LoD make a LoD Prop of 'sbsource=none'.

In your 'STA2_Type2.p3d', in your visual LoDs like 0.0 and ViewPilot make a LoD Property called 'lodnoshadow' with a value of '1'.

Give it a blast... excuse the pun.

Also, dunno how good it's going to be having such a long muzzleflash... but if it works go for it.

Thanks Sy! That's done it! The shadow no longer appears.

Also, the long muzzleflash works just fine. I don't think the game has ever taken its size into consideration.
