Hi there, thanks for making this plugin!

Is there anyway to stop prevent the shadows from shaking so much when raycasting? I'd like a way to make them static.

Hi! Could you send me a short video of the shaking or GIF? I’m not fully sure what part is shaking from the screenshot alone.

Hi vishi, thanks for the prompt reply!

There you go, can you see the shadows are trembling when light touches it.

vishi221Developer39 days ago(+1)

Do you mean the shadow looks pixelated or jagged around the edges instead of smooth?
That was actually an intentional choice to optimize FPS. I'll add a parameter to adjust this in the next update, but whether the FPS stays stable will depend entirely on your device and other players' specs.

lucasantana.gamedesign39 days ago

Yep, that's what I meant.

I really appreciate the effort! If you could add a toggle to disable the raycast through plugin commands as well, that'd be awesome too.

I improved the shadow quality by about 70% ( Make sure to select Raycast Quality: High ), that's the limit since going higher would drain the CPU and drop the FPS. Please grab the new update, plugin commands are included!

Thanks, Vishi, I really appreciate it!

Hey Vishi, thanks again for the help! But it still looks jaggy even after setting it to high, it's likely due to this limit you've mentioned, right?

Yeah, that's the limit. If you change the light style to pixel, it'll be block instead of jaggy

Thanks again for all the hard work, I seriously can't thank you enough!

Could I ask for a few more things?

1. Can you add an option to add multiple regions in <FogWallRegion: ID>? like <FogWallRegion: ID 1, 2, 11, 104>
2. Could you add an option to auto add this to everymap? I'm using it as a dynamic shadow plugin and it's a bit of a hassle to have to set it up in every map individually.

I'd really appreciate it if you could look into it when you have the time.

Done! Please re-download the plugin! I was a bit too lazy to write a devlog, and I just coded it and did a quick check without thorough testing. Not sure if there are any bugs, so if you find any, just report them to me! If everything works fine, please consider leaving a 5-star rating for the plugin! Thanks

Hi Vishi, I can't thank you enough for all the effort done! Your plugin is a true game changer!

Sorry for not leaving a review earlier, I really thought I did, lol.

Thanks again, you didn't have to adjust any of that but you did anyway and I'm incredibly thankful for the effort!
