How to change shadow settings for HISM instance?

krishcrush · September 25, 2020, 10:55am

Hello,

I have a blueprint that is spawning HISM instances using the Set Static Mesh and Add Instance nodes.

I don’t want this mesh to cast any shadows, but I can’t seem to find where I would change the shadow settings when the HISM instance is a variable as shown (and not a blueprint component).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thanks @Expose.

Sadly, I don’t get that Set Cast Shadow node from the menu (context sensitive is on). Also, I just double checked and this is a Static mesh and not a HISM as I initially thought. Not sure if this matters.

i think your using the wrong node, your HISM new model is a static mesh, but you have to toggle the shadows on the component, not a this node (you should use the one youpluged in your set static mesh target input)
