Death on entering shadows

[TheArmyGuy]

I heard some people crashed only when they entered a shadow, so it should be possible to detect if someone is in one.
The idea is that you die when you enter a shadow, as a sort of gamemode. Imagine a day/night cycle with a tall wall that casts a large shadow over the map at nightfall to add a sort of eerie time limit to an area.

somehow I don't think its possible and thats just there graphics card not being able to render shadows on the player's body

someone correct me if I'm wrong though

You're right

You could use a loop that runs every couple milliseconds and loops through every brick, using trig to see if the player is in a shadow.

You're right

Probably.  We don't know.  There are so many other bugs in this update that it's sometimes hard to define what individual problems are.

I think that since they are GPU-oriented, they would be client-sided.

see if the player is in a shadow.

I seriously doubt theres a trigger for this

you'd have to simulate a shadows movements through the use of zones; while also simulating the movement of it

[Brian Smithers]

no
you'd have to use a buttforget ton of math, which in the end would probably just lag you.

Eh, I already have something like this. It's not that hard, really. I have a gamemode where you have to stay IN the shadows, or the sun kills you over time.

I said trig, not triggers.
