No shadows update for an entity when it's a child

[Dreikblack]

If you do "box->SetParent(pivot);" before loop there will be no shadow at all.

In this example there is a shadow, but with Space box became child of rotating pivot and shadow is stay still static.

#include "UltraEngine.h"

using namespace UltraEngine;

int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) {
    auto displays = GetDisplays();
    auto window = CreateWindow("Ultra Engine", 0, 0, 1280, 720, displays[0], WINDOW_CENTER | WINDOW_TITLEBAR);
    auto framebuffer = CreateFramebuffer(window);
    auto world = CreateWorld();

    //Create a camera
    auto camera = CreateCamera(world);
    camera->SetClearColor(0.125);
    camera->SetFov(70);
    camera->Move(-1, 2, -6);

    //Create light
    auto light = CreatePointLight(world);
    light->SetPosition(0, 1, 0);
    light->SetColor(2);

    //Create ground
    auto ground = CreateBox(world, 20, 1, 20);
    ground->SetPosition(0, -0.5, 0);
    ground->SetColor(0, 0.4f, 0);

    auto pivot = CreatePivot(world);
    pivot->SetPosition(0, 0.5, -1);

    auto box = CreateBox(world, 1, 1, 1);
    box->SetPosition(0, 0.5, -1);
   
    while (window->Closed() == false and window->KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) == false) {
        if (window->KeyHit(KEY_SPACE)) {
            box->SetParent(pivot);
        }
        pivot->Turn(2);
        world->Update();
        world->Render(framebuffer);
    }
    return 0;
}

This fixes the problem, but I am still investigating to see why the shadow is not disappearing when the box is parented to the non-shadow-casting pivot.

pivot->SetShadows(true);

Fixed this in the source. The correct behavior is the box should stop casting a shadow when it is parented to a non-shadow-casting entity.
