Feature Request Add a 'Shadow Intensity' property to Shadow Caster 2D.

Having the 'Shadow Intensity' property on the

Light 2D

component does have its benefits and should stay — but why does the

Shadow Caster 2D

component not have its own version of this property for us to adjust on a per shadow-caster basis?

For instance, in many scenarios I wish to alter the strength of a particular

Shadow Caster 2D

on-the-fly at runtime — interpolating it between maximum strength and no strength as I fade the object (which is usually a piece of terrain) in and out of existence.

With the current setup, I have to drive the 'Shadow Intensity' property on the

Light 2D

component, which effects every single

Shadow Caster 2D

in the scene!


What I propose is this — add a 'Shadow Intensity' property to the

Shadow Caster 2D

that acts as a scalar to the

Light 2D

'Shadow Intensity' property, effecting only that

Shadow Caster 2D

.

Doing this will give users (like myself) a huge boost in flexibility when it comes to the lighting conditions we can create and the interesting visual effects we can make.
