I'm going for a more cartoony look in my game, and the player's shadow sort of messes up the whole look. Is there any way to just turn off the player's shadows? Thanks!

Is there a way to disable the shadow of the player?

This should stop your avatars shadows. Put a script in a serverscriptservice and put this in there.
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(Character)
for _, v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") or v:IsA ("Accessory") then
v.CastShadow = false
end
end
end)
end)
Well if you're looking to disable shadows entirely apparently inserting a Humanoid into the workspace gets rid of shadows. It's pretty strange but it works.
Baseparts have a parameter that says whether or not they cast shadows, called CastShadows. It seems like what you want.
This is easy to do if you have a local script inside of StarterCharacterScripts. You can put into the localscript:
local plr = script.Parent -- Makes a variable plr which is the visible character.
for _,limb in pairs(plr:GetChildren()) do -- "limb" is the limb inside of the plr variable.
if limb:IsA("BasePart") then -- Checks if limb is a basepart
limb.CastShadow = false -- Disables shadow casting.
end
end
And you are good to go, a player without shadows.

Oh wow. I never knew that property existed. Cool.
Thanks. I just used a for loop and looped through the character and found if it was a part or union and then if it is then it turned off the shadow.
Thanks! Works perfectly for all the body parts of the avatar. However, I was wondering if there was a way to add accessories to this too as they still cast shadows.
Yes, there is a way I can edit my answer for you if you like!
If anybody was wondering how to also make the accessories shadow's to be removed, change the if statement to this: if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") then v.CastShadow = false elseif v:IsA("Accessory") then v.Handle.CastShadow = false end
