I want a part to cast a shadow. Like a normal part. But when I changed the transparency of it. The shadow disappeared. This is what is supposed to happen but I was wondering if there was another way.
I tried using the force field material. That worked but not fully transparent.
If I am unclear please tell me.

There are similar post like yours, maybe see if this topics answers your question?
I want to cast a shadow for a part that is invisible.
I’ve used the rope constraint as a simple visual for ropes on a bridge. RopeConstraints obviously don’t have collision or cast a shadow though, since they’re not a physical part. I created some simple parts that have a similar enough shape to the rope to creates a fairly believable collision, and then made them invisible. The problem is, parts don’t render shadows if their transparency is over 70%, so even though I have static ropes with mos…
Hope it helps!

I just figured out a fix on my own and I am posting it if anyone else is wondering how to do this.
Make a new part and change the material to the force field
Set the force field part transparency to -548305890385023850983508 or the lowest negative number you can
It works.
