    Hi there,

    I'm using fence models (models/props_wasteland/exterior_fence002d.mdl) in my map and am having lighting issues because I have a low sun pitch angle and the fences are creating long shadows all over my playing area. These are wire fences so clearly should let most light through them, but they don't.

    My question is: can I prevent the fence props from casting shadows in game?

    Thanks

    Right click the props and go into the properties, then toggle the disable shadows in that window.

    depeneds on wich type of propr you are using if you are using an prop that is dynamic it will cast shadows but if theit's a static it won't cast shadows ..

    you can controll shadows by creating an entety called shadow_control it will help you to correct the shadowing.
