Is there a way to remove the shadows generated by the units ingame? If so, how do I go about accomplishing this?

As long as you didn't make any lights then you shouldn't have unit shadows in the first place (the top ambient light and bottom ambient light don't matter).

I'm afraid I don't understand your answer...

When I said "units" I meant ingame characters like the clone trooper, for example. I want to remove the shadows that the unit casts on the ground on stock maps.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

There's a droppdown list for shadows in the graphics options, high, low, and off.

I want to completely remove the unit shadows from the game. In that even if the shadow option is turned to high, clone troopers and such won't generate a shadow.

Whereabouts could I find the model I need to edit?

Under a unit's .msh file right? Because I searched for "shadowvolume" and couldn't find it...
