ShadowCanMove for StaticShape

by Jeff Faust · in Torque Game Engine · 11/21/2006 (12:48 pm) · 1 replies

Is there a good reason why the shadow rendering of StaticShapes explicitly forces the "move" argument to sgRender() to false, rather than using the setting of it's "shadowCanMove" field? I know it's a "static" object, but sometimes they do get moved around and it would be useful if it could be controlled with the shadowCanMove setting.

    I think the logic was that static objects don't move in game, and theres a lot of overhead in enabling movement, but changing it should work without breaking anything.
