| == Activation == | |
| | |
| * Add {{GLOWS_ENABLE}} to the preprocessor directives on your client and server projects (don't forget to add it for release and debug, too!)
| |
| * Add the following line to '''ClientModeShared::DoPostScreenSpaceEffects''':
| |
| | |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| g_GlowObjectManager.RenderGlowEffects( pSetup, 0 );
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''Materials Required:'''
| |
| [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltyomrglekrhriv/sdk2013_tf2_glowoutlinematerials.zip?dl=0 SDK2013_TF2_GlowOutlineMaterials.zip]
| |
| | |
| | |
| * Precache the effect by placing this code in '''clientmode_shared.cpp''' (search for other references of '''CLIENTEFFECT_REGISTER_BEGIN''' for usage example):
| |
| | |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| CLIENTEFFECT_REGISTER_BEGIN( PrecachePostProcessingEffectsGlow )
| |
| CLIENTEFFECT_MATERIAL( "dev/glow_color" )
| |
| CLIENTEFFECT_MATERIAL( "dev/halo_add_to_screen" )
| |
| CLIENTEFFECT_REGISTER_END_CONDITIONAL( engine->GetDXSupportLevel() >= 90 )
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Don't forget to add the include defintion for the precache system!
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| #include "clienteffectprecachesystem.h"
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| == Usage ==
| |
| | |
| Objects derived from CBaseEntity are able to glow, but setters and getters for the glow effect only appear to be defined from CBaseCombatCharacter onwards.
| |
| | |
| To start a glow, call:
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| myObject->AddGlowEffect(); //Make it glow
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| To update a glow, call:
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| myObject->UpdateGlowEffect(); //Update glow
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| To stop a glow, call:
| |
| <source lang=cpp>
| |
| myObject->RemoveGlowEffect(); //Make it stop glowing
| |
| </source>
