Thanks for help

what???? i dont understand

You cant see your own shadow when you are Alive, its just simple because you cant cast shadows of V-models and you cant view your P-Models because that would just disturb the view and be less quality (often).


But it is, however, available to see other players shadows. And it is possible to see your own shadow when you are DEAD and watching FPS in another person playing, if you noticed the shadow then isnt that good, thats why it isnt included when you play yourself.


If thats what your asking

so if i get what your saying your saying that you want to see your own shadow like you would when you are dead looking at someone else right??

No.. I dont see even other players shadow in my own game. I look under bot player but there is not playershadow. And I think I should see my own shadow if using thirdperson view.

! No playershadows on own map..

I tested and playershadows works on other maps.
So new question is: "How I get playershadows to my own map?"

Mustasurma: Is your map fullbright? I mean do you have any lights in your map? Because on fullbright maps, shadows don't appear.

LOL Ofcourse there is hlrad calculated on my map, i have shadows of walls et all but only shadows of players won't appear :/

Maybe they're being rendered under the floor (Like shadows can render through walls). There is an entity that you can tie the brush to that stops shadows rendering through it, but I can't remember it right now.
