shader_get_sampler_index(shader, uniform);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| shader | The index of the shader to use. |
| shader | The shader sampler to get the handle of (a string). |
Returns: Real
Since you cannot change the value of a shader sampler within the shader itself, you have to set it before calling the shader using one of the available
uniform set functions. However, to be able to do that you must first call this function to get the "handle" of the shader sampler that you will want to set.
NOTE: Although a shader is made up of two discreet programs (vertex and fragment) this function will not differentiate between the two and will
return the handle of the shader sample from either of them.
shader_sample = shader_get_sampler_index(shader_glass, "s_NoiseSampler");
The above code will get the handle of the shader sample "s_NoiseSampler".
