Dynamic shadows from the lantern MOD

[ExpectedIdentifier]

It is possible, you could change the point light attached to the lantern to a spotlight that casts shadows You should create a new version of the lantern though - not overwrite the original!

Wait, wouldn't the original devs do that if it really was possible?

To be clear - I won't try to mod the lantern. I don't feel like getting into the editor and such.

I guess it's because spotlights are directional, you can't make one that's 360 degrees that casts shadows, so really you'd only be able to make it cast shadows infront of you which would look a little strange as a lantern would have a radius light, not a spotlight, possibly why they chose not to. This is why the flashlight mod has shadows, it uses a spotlight instead of a pointlight
