Question by TheNerdyPlane · May 20, 2016 at 07:46 AM · shadowsdirectional light

Shadow when look down

When I was testing my game, I found that when I looked down, a shadow suddenly appeared. I had a little look around, and discovered that the shadows also appear in the editor when you look down. I have looked around, and decided to turn the shadow type from the Directional Light to No Shadows. That got rid of the shadow when you look down, but I do want shadows in my game. If anyone has an answer, suggestion, or link to another topic, feel free to post.

Yes. Just like a normal shadow that should be there, but this one shouldn't. It doesn't happen everywhere, just some places, like the picture.

You can turn off cast and receive shadows in the objects renderer. That should fix it for you.

RoofTurkey, thanks for the answer, but that doesn't help. There is no object render, I am using the FPSController prefab that you get in the characters asset pack.

$$anonymous$$aybe there is a renderer on one of the child objects of the FPSController? As far as I know there can't be a shadow without a renderer :S

I don't just think it is the FPSController. Whilst I was looking around the 'Scene View', I discovered that I was getting the shadows as well. Perhaps this is a glitch? I will put some pictures in the comment below comment.
