Shadow trail, casts shadows?

[X-maul]

I followed this tutorial; http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/resources/tutorials/27134-slow-motion-trails-tutorial/

And I added a shadow trail to a unit, but for some reason I cant remove the shadow from the shadow actor? How do I do that? (The actor is created every 0.7 sec while moving and destroyed after 1.8 sec.

For some reason I cant make it not cast a shadow?

Are you saying that your shadow is creating its own shadow? Or do you want to make it so that your shadow effect can be turned on and off?

The shadow is casting it's own shadow, and I dont want it to do that.

Well I've only briefly read through the tutorial and have never tried to do this myself, but it sounds like you are either creating the wrong actor for your shadow (you should have a separate actor for your shadow) or have added the wrong events to your shadow actor (thus causing it to create its own shadow). I assume the shadow actors are removed correctly after the 1.8s?

I am creating the right actor and it is getting destroyed. This is the events for the shadow actor;

and these are the events for the unit concerning the shadow;

That looks like it should work, so I'm not really sure. What I did notice though is that the shadows are created every 0.1 seconds and destroyed after 0.18 seconds, not the 0.7 seconds and 1.8 seconds respectively you mentioned in your first post.
