Shader on Pain...

Is it possible to have the engine switch to a fullscreenshader when you get hurt? I wanted to try this cool little effect that when you get hurt, it blurs your vision for a small amount of time (Like a few hundred milliseconds...)

I was poking around the code but I don't know exactly what to do :)

Write your full screen shader, and modify the code so that whenever you get hurt, it calls the /setfullscreenshader function with your shader as the argument. By the way, put your shader in stdshader.cfg.

Hmm...
I'd examine what happens when you execute /setfullscreenshader (search for "(setfullscreenshader") and see if you can adapt it to execute on taking damage and revert after a second or so (or maybe longer depending on damage).

BF puts an overlay on the HUD when hurt. You could try looking at that for some help.

#3: setfullscreenshader...

Setfullscreenshader appears twice in the sauerbraten source.


One if a C++ function, which I suppose handles the obvious part, and the next is when it is defined as an in game command.


It appears that when the player gets hurt, I could call (in the C++ code) setfullscreenshader();

The only problem is, I am not a c++ wizard, so if I read through the declaration of setfullscreenshader, I don't understand what to send it?


setfullscreenshader(what?);

by MovingTarget on 12/23/2007 04:53, refers to #3

setfullscreenshader(yourshaderdefinedinstdshader.cfg, param, param, param, param). Bloom only uses the first param by the way.

Ok! Now, to find where the pain occurs :) I may be wrong, but isn't there a different pain function for the different game types?
