Hi,

Does anyone know the syntax for setting a material's field mode to progressive in a script?

You need to retreive the video shader from the material first and then you can just use:


shader.VideoFieldMode = vfm_Progressive;
#XPression

Cool.

Now I've done this in OnOnline:

dim quad as xpBaseObject
dim mat as xpMaterial
dim shader as xpBaseShader
Self.GetObjectNyName("Player", quad)
quad.GetMaterial(0, mat)
mat.Stop
mat.GetShader(0, shader)
shader.VideoFieldMode = vfm_Progressive

However I get this message "Name "vfm_Progressive" is not declared". Why does this happen?

#XPression

I guess vfm_Progressive only exists for external API applications. You can just use the value 1 instead of the constant and it will do the same thing.

shader.VideoFieldMode = 1

The value of 0 is autodetect, and 2 is "upper field first".

#XPression

@bford is there any way to set the shaders Source Mode (shaped/unshaped) and the Run Mode (Loop/PlayOnce/Pingpong) ?
#XPression

Yes, by using a videoshader instead of baseshader...

Then use : Unshaped As Boolean

About RunMode, it's a material property...
#XPression
