I want to know why that shadow is not being shown in my editor..

Also after building the lighting, why does the shadow not become crisper instead it turns out like this...

    Dynamic don't show unless you use Toggleable Lights, since they're pretty resource hungry. It also helps in restart UDK after long hours of use, since a few time my lights borked.

    Also, as Shep said, change the Lightmap resolution for baked lights. IIRC, for BSP models, decrease the value, but for static mesh, increase the value.
