UDK help

I am messing with the lighting a little bit in UDK to see if the look of the textures is consistent. When I built the lighting the shadow was only a single line and I cant figure out what is causing it. I don't think its a lightmap issue, the meshs are only planes, I don't even think its because I am using a dominent directional light either because I've tried the meshes in a scene with the same light that works on another project and I still go the same line of shadow. Thanks for the help in advance

Have you tried checking the Light Map Resolution and Light Map Coordinates Index in your Mesh Properties? Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to give them a looksee to find out if your light channels are on the wrong settings. Hope this helps. Good Luck

That was not it, maybe it not mesh related?

It seemed to be because the texture was one sided

Right, if there is nothing behind a wall it won't stop light. Fill it with a caulking mesh or make the prop (wall) a solid mesh. Setting the material to 2-sided eats up draws, and can be more expensive especially over a large area.
