    I have some visible actions and some others that are not visible in my game. Design wise I would like to have them set up without shadows. Is this possible when using lights?

    It doesn't appear to be possible currently.

    Hopefully this comes in an update. The hidden actions are problematic since they can't be 'hidden' when the shadow reveals them. Till it is implemented I will keep the lights out from these zones.
    Thanks Andy.

    If you completely delete the "Default Animation" (click the little x in the corner) of the action you wish to be invisible, it will not cast a shadow.

    Haha, nice! I was on the right track in my head... but I was blocking on how to get rid of the collision shape. ;-)

    I don't like to bring up old threads, but this answer is awesome and just solved my problem :D
    Deleting the default animation keeps the collision shape, but removes the ability for the object to cast a shadow. Perfect :D
