SpotLight created from codeside drops no shadow

[DudeAwesome]

Hiho I created a Spotlight with

 

self.flashlight = SpotLight:Create(self.entity)

 

but all objects drop no shadows. when I create a spotlight in the editor my objects drop shadows.. is there a way to enable shadows from code side?

You have to define what shadow mode it is, use

self.flashlight:SetShadowMode(Light.Dynamic+Light.Static+Light.Buffered)

thx but also it will not work ;(

 

where you see that command in the api?

 

a spotlight earns functions from object/entity/light and I cant see a function like "SetShadowMode()"

Under material:

mhmm I dont know what a material has to do with a light entity?

 

my shadows working when I use a Spotlight from the editor

 

IF I DONT CHANGE SOMETHING

 

and use a spotlight from codeside

 

My shadows will not be dropped.

 

 

So i thought I have to turn on shadows from the lightsettings but it looks like I have to do from material side but I dont get behind it why it will not work with my code light

Could be a bug but would you like to share your project so we could test it?
