The only chance to avoid this (without changing the engine code) is to make the skybox larger than the light's radius.

There's only code for point lights and spotlights in the engine, so the best you can do to have a sunlight that casts stencil shadows is to put a point light far away from the player.

Thanks You.
I have done some experiments and the result is this.
I found a solution and create a Pawn is called Sun , which has engaged the spot light dynamic entity. This entity Sun follows the player .
The drawbacks that I have and that I think can ener solution is that the light has to be above the ceiling of infrastructure such as homes or as a dynamic light may be turned off when entering certain sectors.
Code: Select all
// File Script Sun.s
{
Start[()
{
//Console(true);
LowLevel("Sol");
SetNoCollision();
}]
Sol[()
{
PawnRender(false);
PositionToPawn("Player",0,300,100,false,true); // ;-)
}]
}
