Made this for idb the game.
Use the built in sprite color commands to flash sprites when they are hit etc.
Its hacked like this to be small and work with the same shader on multiple sprites.
Usually would you nead to assign multiple shaders for each sprite.
Anyone that have a page or thread to support agk are free to link to the page or share the shader as they please.

Why would you need to adding multiple shaders for more than one sprite?

each sprite would nead a shader id of there own as setshaderconstant affects all sprites using a shader with the same id.
I only want to flash one sprite and use a single shader.
This is a quick hack.

You could do this in DBP with color sprite. Does agk not have this?

I think with sprites the setspritecolor has its limitations for example you may want the sprite to flash
pure red when being hit without the sprites colours being made more red

if the shader worked like that with a way to switch it on and off and set what colour it should flash to
that would be quite handy

yes built in set color have a max of 255.
My shader simply multiplies it to make it flash so thats why we nead to set down the color value.
This hack where made to be used with base commands with no more changes anywhere.

Ah, so you apply this shader and it flashes without changing the color settings of the sprites.
But the neat idea you can extract here is to miss use "colorVarying" as an independant variable you can set for each sprite.
Cause there is no other way to do it right now.
I actually just requested a SetSpriteShaderConstantByName command a week ago from Rick V.
Maybe you can vote here for it to move an izibizy step up the ladder of priorities

That would be great janbo
I where confused on why i could not apply fx to a single sprite when using the same shader until i noticed this way to do a simple hack.
