Shadow Detection

It's a neat idea, but I don't think it's possible for Roblox. There might be some sneaky workarounds, but I wouldn't expect the overall performance to be optimal

@woeful current. This seems like something up your alley. What do you think?

[woeful current]

cast a ray from the part to all the lightsources around

thats the best way

you can use lighting:GetSunDirection() or someting

I didn't know that was a thing

I checked the API reference, but assumed no such function would exist 😂

Thaught about that?

maybe only check a bit lower, like ony the bottom corners or feed

and increase your local RAY_LENGTH
a bit like 300 or something

[woeful current]

Yeah ray length way too short
