### Remarks

[Terrain.castShadows](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/terrain/castshadows.md) is obsolete. Instead you should use [Terrain.shadowCastingMode](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/terrain/shadowcastingmode.md) which allows setting all shadow casting modes. Setting castShadows to true sets shadowCastingMode to [ShadowCastingMode.TwoSided](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/shadowcastingmode/twosided.md). Setting it to false sets shadowCastingMode to [ShadowCastingMode.Off](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/shadowcastingmode/off.md).
