Weird Shadow Line - vampirexevipex - 02-05-2013

Hello! today i was making a map of a forest, everything went well until i added the moonlight, In the map editor looks neat but when i test it, this weird shadow line appears when i enter the area with moonlight... anyone know how to fix this?

How large is your boxlight or spotlight?

Keep dimensions of a boxlight 500 and under.
Keep the radius of a spotlight 75 and under.

Any amount of those higher (give or take) and you get these graphical glitches.

Thanks! Does the FOV affect it too?


RE: Weird Shadow Line - Statyk - 02-06-2013

It shouldn't, to my knowledge.

Well if you zoom too much out, it will go upside down.

Zooming too much in... I don't know...

Reduce the radius

What about shadows? If you make a light that casts lots of shadows in a really open area, is logical that weird errors happen. Disable Cast Shadows and try if it works.
