Toggle Shadow Tool

Description
A simple addon that adds a tool to enable and disable render-to-texture shadows in Garry's Mod.

GitHub[github.com]

Usage
  • Use primary fire to disable the shadow on an object.
  • Use secondary fire to re-enable a shadow.
  • Use reload to toggle the shadow of an object as well as any constrained objects.
  • Disable all shadows from the option in the Tool menu.
  • Change shadow distance from the option in the Tool menu.

Compatibility

This addon probably shouldn't interfere with other addons. It it intended to run in Sandbox mode, but it will probably work in any gamemode that is based on Sandbox mode and retains the Tool Gun.

This addon has Duplicator support.

Will this help with invisible submaterial parts?

Great, but I bet Garry's Mod update broke reload function on tool:

[Toggle Shadow Tool] lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/shadow.lua:41: attempt to call field 'GetAllConstrainedEntities' (a nil value)
1. Reload - lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/shadow.lua:41
2. unknown - gamemodes/sandbox/entities/weapons/gmod_tool/shared.lua:130

This is an absolute must if you do screenshots/posing of any kind.

Doesn't work on ragdolls apparently.
