DxCreateShader

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

This function creates a shader element that can be used in the dxDraw functions. Successful shader creation is not guaranteed unless the Effect File contains a fallback technique which will work on every PC in the universe.

It is highly recommended that dxSetTestMode is used when writing and testing scripts using dxCreateShader.

Syntax

element, string dxCreateShader ( string filepath )

Required Arguments

• filepath: The filepath of the shader Effect File(.fx) file

Returns

• element: A shader element if successful, false if invalid arguments were passed to the function. You should always check to see if this function has returned false.
• string: The name of the technique that will be used.

Example

addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root,
    function()
        if myShader then
            dxDrawImage( 100, 350, 300, 350, myShader )
        end
    end
)
 
-- Use 'toggle' command to switch shader on and off
addCommandHandler( "toggle",
    function()
        if not myShader then
            myShader = dxCreateShader( "fancything.fx" )  -- Create shader
        else        
            destroyElement( myShader )                    -- Destroy shader
            myShader = nil
        end
    end
)
