Set shadow mode at creation?

[L B]

I'm no LUA expert, but I need to change the shadow mode of a model at spawn. What would be the correct code for it?

Oh and if I may ask as well, how can I set it to static?

Try something like:

 

require("scripts/class")

local class=CreateClass(...)

function class:CreateObject(model)
local object = self.super:CreateObject(model)  
object.model:SetKey("castshadows",2)
end

 

That will spawn the object with shadows set to static.

Or this:

require("scripts/class")

local class=CreateClass(...)

function class:CreateObject(model)
       local object = self.super:CreateObject(model)  
       object.model:SetShadowMode(2,1)
end

 

Since class.lua uses the direct castshadows value to return a key, it's safe to call SetShadowMode() directly.
