Actor's lighting properties?

Development Programming & Scripting C++

I can set almost any property of my AStaticMeshActor * but I didn’t manage to find any light related propertie like cast shadows.

Any idea?

Hi!
You don’t set the property on the StaticMeshActor itself but its component.




	AStaticMeshActor* Actor;
	UStaticMeshComponent* Component = Actor->GetStaticMeshComponent();
	if(Component) {
		Component->CastShadow = false;
	}

Thank you so much I managed to force lighting from the object by
Component->LightmassSettings.bUseEmissiveForStaticLighting = true;

unfortunatly besides this option is checked on the editor it doesn’t emit light on lightmass solution, same mesh, with same material and same options works ok if I make it manually.
Any idea on this?

Note: if I make changes on this option manually but I created the actor using code it doesn’t work neither.

Upps it looks a ‘feature’ or a bug on Unreal, if I set it to invisible during gameplay it doesn’t render properly on lightmass
