light_torchflame_moving goes through walls?

[KaiserJohan]

Hello,

 

I just encountered this annoying problem. Any pre-made light sources, like an already lit torch, does not shine through walls, but light_torchflame_moving apparently does! What could have caused this? I doubt it's not how it's supposed to be.

 

Cheers

The light is probably set to not cast shadows. That means it will go through walls.

If the light source is actually moving in space and it is placed close to a wall, it seems perfectly feasible that it could go through the wall and show from the other side at certain times.

Yes, that solved it, thank you very much! I just thought it looked better without casting shadows all over the place, because I have a few furniture which creates a real shadow-play, it just dosn't feel "right" but maybe it is.

(I did place the light vector about 7 grid units infront)
