The prblem is that i did all that ..but when i run it.. The code Is weird.. Like.. is nomral that the texture for exaple a (X) sprite.. is always at the same place.. all for all over the map.. like.. The texture is projected along not only its size..but for all tha map...

matt .. this thing works, but .. just allow 1 projector right? and one reciever?

and why the projector projects black parts ( when the pic that is being projected is out of range)

first you need a texture for the projector that fades out at the edges, otherwise you get a sharp egde between the light and dark parts.. you can multiple projectors but not affecting the same models..

Also of course you have to implement some sort of lighting scheme in the shader also, other wise all the models can only be lit by the projector..it's really meant to be used in a multi pass per pixel lighting method

EDIT:// OKay now I can have them all working, and fading cool.. but, it just works when fading to black, and .. When there are 2 entityes on the level , that are affected by the projector, both of them get them , but Shared, like if the other entity moves, the my material is shared and f it moves mine moves too even if im still
Sorry grammar.
eh

I'm sorry, i dont understand

Humm let me explain:

* I have 2 entities that have a enable_scan=on;
* I have 2 projectors
* One of the entities has a actor_follow function; the other one is the player
NOw:
When the player and the other entity are under the projector, Both get the projetor material... but , just one works correctly because:

-> It seems they share the same material, so if the player moves , the projetion on the other entity will move when the player moves, and if the other one moves , my projetion will pause and give the control to the other one.

I hope you understand.. Thanks.

I've just tried this one, too. It doesn't work as is. Perhaps it is old syntax?

Firstly, this line craps out: VertexShaderConstant[0] = <matWorld>; //World Matrix

I saw that the definition of matWorld was commented out ofr some reason, so I uncommented it, which got me as far as this line:

//range constant
VertexShaderConstant[33] = (0.01f, 0.5f, 0.05f, 0.0f);

And that was where I threw in the towel.



What I want is an image projected over the map all models as a cursor to select things in the environment. Is this posible, who can do it, and what do you want for it?

This shader needs to be converted to directx 9 code, that's probably all there is to it. If I can get it to work, you'll get it for free, no promises though, because I'm not sure wether I could fix it, nor if I've got the time for it to do it ...

Cheers

Coooool...thank you Phemox!!!

Thanks Phemox. That would really be appreciated.
