Set castshadow to false for all parts in every player

[jandrewr]

im recreating an old game was wondering how to set castshadow to false for all the parts in every player in the game

You can use a for loop to loop through every character in workspace, and another for loop to loop through every part inside of the character(s). Once done, we can set castshadow to false.

for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v) then
		for _, characterPart in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
			if characterPart:IsA("BasePart") then
				characterPart.CastShadow = false
			end
		end
	end
end

thanks for the response, but using this script doesnt change any of the shadows.
i did add a print statement after

	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v) then

but it didnt end up printing anything

No problem, that’s pretty strange, it works fine for me.

[jandrewr]

maybe im putting the script in the wrong place? where should i be putting the script

[Fvrenight (Fire)]

That depends, what is the script for? Can I see the entire script so I can help?

[jandrewr]

im just using the same script you sent and its a localscript in StarterPlayerScripts, am i making a dumb mistake? sorry if i am

for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v) then
		print("test")
		for _, characterPart in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
			if characterPart:IsA("BasePart") then
				characterPart.CastShadow = false
			end
		end
	end
end

serverscriptservice >
i assume you want a server script anyway, i just realized itd work both tho

local mtb={['plrs']=game:GetService('Players')}

mtb.bpadded=function(x)
if x:IsA('BasePart') then x.CastShadow=false end
end

mtb.chadded=function(x)
x.DescendantAdded:Connect(mtb.bpadded)
for i,v in next,x:GetDescendants() do mtb.bpadded(v) end
end

mtb.plradded=function(x)
if x.Character then mtb.chadded(x.Character) end
x.CharacterAdded:Connect(mtb.chadded)
end
mtb.plrs.PlayerAdded:Connect(mtb.plradded)
for i,v in next,mtb.plrs:GetPlayers() do mtb.plradded(v) end mtb.plrs=nil

edit: forgot something

No, dw there aren’t such things as dumb mistakes, it’s what helps you learn.

Are you trying to make it so only the client/player can see that everyone’s shadows are off, or are the shadows going to be off for everyone?

If it’s only visible to the player, then you would make it a localscript, and I can help you from there. If it’s visible to everyone, make a Script, and place it into ServerScriptService.

thanks for not being condescending @username7768 's script seems to have done the trick, but yes my goal was to have it turn shadows off for everyone.
thank you for the help though
