Individual light shadow on/off not working?

[Pharoid]

Can you disable shadows on a per-light basis? It seems to be broken. I see the toggle to disable shadows with the light selected but when I click it it does not disable the shadow. and then I unselect the light and re-select it, shadows are no longer disabled for that light. after that, I have to click disable shadows toggle button twice to get it to toggle off again. (even though its not actually disabling the shadow). Not a show stopper by any means but worth mentioning just incase its not just happening to me.

I'm not sure. I've noticed strange behavior that I haven't taken the time to reproduce and report to SmiteWorks. It seems to be more of arefresh issue than the toggles not working. You can try going into play mode, turning lighting on and off after you toggle individual lights or shadows and see if that works. Shouldn't be required, but I think it's the work around I've used successfully.

I made a short video (attached) trying to show the Shadows-Toggle not working for lights. When it is disabled there is no impact and the change doesn't register; meaning that when you click off the light and back to it the Shadows-Toggle has reverted to it's default state (enabled). I have not been able to make this stay disabled or result in any change. It would be great if we could make some light sources not create shadows.
Would this be enough to report it to SmiteWorks?

Thanks for the report. I've filed a ticket for @pindercarl to review.

Thank you.

The toggle for individual light shadows is removed in v4.3.1 to avoid any confusion. The toggle was originally built only for ambient lighting; but the concept for what it might be able to do in point lights was never finalized. So, we're removing the toggle, since it was not doing anything.
