SetShaderParameter from lua

Hello,
I have got zerobranestudio integrated and now I am trying to do some nice lua scripting but when I try to call renderpath SetShaderParameter from lua, it either passes garbage or null

Garbage:
renderPath:SetShaderParamter (“ShaderParameter”, Variant (0.2))
Null:
renderPath:SetShaderParamter (“ShaderParameter”, 0.2)

I even tried to allocate a Variant on the stack (local value = Variant (0.2), renderPath:…) but it still passes garbage value.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.

It should be Variant with Vector2() if you have 2 parameters…

see 09_MultipleViewports.lua as the above is the example provided.

I’m not sure though if it is right to use Variant in single parameters. You can try float…

Nope, it only seems to work for anything that is a user defined data type like Vector2

renderPath:SetShaderParameter (“BloomMix”, Variant (Vector2 (…))) works but
renderPath:SetShaderParameter (“BloomThreshold”, 0.2) crashes the program and
renderPath:SetShaderParameter (“BloomThreshold”,Variant (0.2)) passes a garbage value

Yes, I see the BloomThreshold is a single paramater value and there was no given example (afaik) so if you think this is a bug then you should post this issue on Github…

By default Lua number uses double as primitive data type. Probably the shader only expects to get a float. So, I would try to use this variant constructor: Variant(VAR_FLOAT, 0.2)

Well there’s your answer theak472009 . I’m not into Lua at the moment so I don’t even bother checking for these type of issues…

Thanks weitjong.

Thanks. It works perfectly now.
