According to the wiki and the code: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=LOD#How_to_use_LOD_in_your_TDM_map This is intended behavior: "Note: The dist_check_period spawnarg needs to be combined with one of "hide_distance" or "lod_X_distance" and "model_lod_X", "skin_lod_X" or "noshadows_lod_X" to have any effect! " UPDATE: Hmm, you usage case does not contradict this overcomplicated sentence. |

I imagined this might be a situation that hasn't been caught by the code yet; dist_check_period is typically used in combination with one of the parameters you mentioned. However you can have cases where you want to use it only with lod_1_distance + noshadows_lod_1, in order to disable shadows for that entity past the given distance without hiding it or changing its model. This too can be a valid use case... already doing that in my FM which is how I noticed it wouldn't work. |

Completed: At revision: 9539 1. Forcing last LOD distance to -1 and any prior is set. The original logic is not very clear to me so I tried to minimize changes to it. It seemed to require the last LOD distance to work, and explicit hide_distance is just that. 2. Do not require dist_check_period any more as long as any "lod_..." are specified |

Attaching the test map Note that just two LOD spawn arg's are used to control the shadows here qwe.map (1,347 bytes) image.png (5,642 bytes) |
