Get Convert To Shadow here: https://www.roblox.com/library/72083848011269/
Forgot to show but to unshadow it you just hit the plugin button again!
Not all but majority of materials are supported, some like neon, glass might not work until i find a way to shadow them.
Not sure of the full use cases of this but i guess custom shadows mainly? maybe some builders can get creative using this!.

CONVERT TO SHADOW! - Plugin scripted by Scream (scr.eam on DC)
Currently some materials are unsupported until i find a way to shadow them,
I know that I'm using some deprecated code, i can never find myself ending my code with
a double end it triggers me in a way that I can hardly explain hopefully someone in the world relates.
