Buildings and Shadows {shadow is huge for a small building}

[Snuffy]

hey, I didn´t find anything about this proble. I want to do a own
building. Therefore i used the cityhall building and replaced the
model etc. with the one of the Arcaneobservatory. Now i reduced
the Scale to about 0.6. The Problem is now that the Shadow
is huge compared to the building itself.

What have i forgot? I dont find anything like a scale of the shadow.

You forgot the Art - Shadow Texture (Building) field. Make a custom shadow from Art - Shadow. Make it "Normal" and then change the values to your desired size.

In the field Art - Shadow Texture (Building) i used Arcaneobservatory.
What do you mean by "make a custom shadow from Art - Shadow"

I dont have a field Art - Shadow i only have Art - Shadow Texture (Unit)
and the one for Building.

And how do i make it normal?

Well, that one. The Art - Shafow Texture (Unit). It says "None", right? Make it "Normal", then go to the values "Center X" and "Center Y" and scale it by "Height" and "Width".
Delete the Arcane Observatory one.

anything i change at center x or y, height and width dont do anything?
i changed the one to normal and set the shadow texture building to none.

I might have misunderstood you. By "shadow" you mean the field "Art - Ground Texture" maybe? Set it None and tell me whether this is what you meant or not.

Hmm i think i know now a few things more about my problem ^^.
I want to have a ground texture and also a shadowfor my Building. But both of them
are bigger then the building itself, cause i changed the field Art - Scalevalue.

There. You can't have a default shadow scaled, so, you should do the trick of swapping with a shadow that would look like of your building's.
The ground texture will be created in-game, by the "Ubersplatt" action, so test the map in-game please.
For more questions, feel free to ask.
