Shader Toolkit Effects not Working properly in 5.0RC2

Hi all,

Well, I cannot give you an easy Solution, but I can tell from looking at the new Shadertoolkit that it does not actually include the several Shaders inside the Script -- which makes Sense, because in Vis5 that does not work anymore. Strangely, I know that shaderBlur() still works fine, so I have no Idea how that works exactly (is it not Part of the Shader-Toolkit??). But if these Shaders you want do not work anymore, then go to the old Shadertoolkit-Script, look for the Areas which are huge Piles of different-looking Code inside of Strings, and copy those Parts into separate Shaders (in the Editor's new "Shader"-Category), and change the Codes until you get no Error-Messages at the Bottom anymore (I guess that is easier said than done, seems like most People on the Forum haven't looked much into GLSL-Coding, and I am also but a mere Amateur). Once you have done that, you can call the Shader with a Script very similar to how it worked in Vis4:

local eff = "NAME_OF_THE_SHADER"

shader_effects[eff] = { shader = Shaders[eff].Compiled }

shaderAddEffect(eff)

Above sounds interesting, but how you can apply the effect to an object only?

The syntax for binding to object has changed because the shaderset numbers were clunky.

That was it , thanks so much! Had missed this part of the docs.

Yes i guess so,

I don't know of a specific Command for that, but you could, when removing the Effect, reiterate its Addition to the Opject you want it to keep. But I can see how that might be a little janky, and a Chore (depending on the Amount of Objects).

If the object is not shown, it wastes no performance. If you want to remove the effect do:

Thanks Simon, that is very useful to know.

And yes, I just checked, as I said, and it is just like Simon says.
