Setting Shadow Target?

Hey guys, I was wondering if it were possible to set the target the dynamic shadows are tracking to? if not that feature should be added, so that you can have detailed shadows which only appear close to you. Basically at the moment the shadow tracks to the spotlight which is casting it, which does not work well for a sun…

Well, you could parent the lamp to your character and set logic to neutralize it (lamp)'s movement in relation to the character.

Ok, I just tried it (loosely, not the most optimized way :wink: ) and i found another problem. The shadows stretch, if you walk past a rock the shadow will get shorter the closer you are, which is kind of weird looking, thanks anyway for the parenting thing!

Couldn’t you just parent your “spot” lamp to your character? That way the shadows would always be the same angle and would only hit the area around you…

I’ll throw a test together to display what I mean…
