Template:MatParam/doc

This template is used to generate material shader parameter definitions on material shader pages.

Usage

{{MatParam|<name>|<variable type>|<description>}}

Note:Don't forget to use Template:= to escape any "=" characters in the text.

Examples and Parameters

Parameter	Description	Example	Preview
deprecated	This material parameter is deprecated and should no longer be used.	{{MatParam|I'm deprecated|bool|Really, don't use me anymore!|deprecated=1}}	I'm deprecated <boolean>   Deprecated.  Really, don't use me anymore!
since	This material parameter is available since this game. Uses the template {{Since}}.	{{MatParam|$likealienswarm|bool|I'm available in Portal 2, too!|since={{as}}}}	$likealienswarm <boolean> (in all games since ) I'm available in Portal 2, too!
also	This material parameter is also available in this game. Uses the template {{Also}}.	{{MatParam|$likealienswarm|bool|I'm also available in Garry's Mod!|since={{as}}|also={{GMOD}}}}	$likealienswarm <boolean> (in all games since )  (also in ) I'm also available in Garry's Mod!
only	This material parameter is available only in this/these game(s). Uses the template {{Only}}.	{{MatParam|$lovealienswarm|integer|I'm only available in Alien Swarm!|only={{as}}}}	$lovealienswarm <integer> (only in ) I'm only available in Alien Swarm!
removed	This material parameter was removed in this game. Uses the template {{Removed}}.	{{MatParam|$dxparameter|int|I was removed in Left 4 Dead!|removed={{l4d}}}}	$dxparameter <integer>  (removed in ) I was removed in Left 4 Dead!
dx9	This material parameter requires DX9 or higher to function.	{{MatParam|$dx9parameter|bool|I require DX9 to work!|dx9=1}}	$dx9parameter <boolean>  (DX9+) I require DX9 to work!
dx8	This material parameter is for DX8, and should not be used for DX9.	{{MatParam|$dx8parameter|bool|I'm a material parameter for DX8!|dx8=1}}	$dx8parameter <boolean>  (DX8) I'm a material parameter for DX8!
to	Use this to define a set of material parameters with very similar names.	{{MatParam|$basetexture1|to=$basetexture4|texture|There are many of us...}}	$basetexture1 to $basetexture4 <texture> There are many of us...
and	Use this to define two material parameters with very similar names.	{{MatParam|$bumpmap|and=$bumpmap2|texture|This shader supports two bump maps.}}	$bumpmap and $bumpmap2 <texture> This shader supports two bump maps.
shaders	Lists the shaders for a specific material parameter. Uses the template {{Shaders}}.	{{MatParam|$shaderspecificparameter|float|I only work with specific shaders!|shaders=LightmappedGeneric, WorldVertexTransition}}	$shaderspecificparameter <float> I only work with specific shaders! Shaders: LightmappedGeneric, WorldVertexTransition
