Howto:Aircraft reflection shader: Difference between revisions

{{caution|

The separate reflection shaders should be considered '''deprecated''' and '''should not be used for new development'''.}}

Inside the <tt>AircraftName.xml</tt>, we need to put the following lines of code, shortly after or before other <animation> tag entries:

  <nowiki><!-- REFLECTION --></nowiki>

     <effect>

         <object-name>RHelevator</object-name>

     </effect>

Note that for each <object-name> tag, you need to indicate the aircraft's objects. If you are not the original aircraft author and do not know which parts to enter, or how they are named, use the other animations tags object names which indicate the pieces you require to be reflected (such as <object-name>fuselage</object-name> is an obvious one). Obviously do not enter things which you don't want to be reflected!

You'll still need to use the code above in your file but this time, you'll use your own effect shader (below). The difference is you'll replace:

with

Now we'll create this foo_reflect file.

Create a Folder inside your Models-folder called "Effects".

Now you create a new .eff file named: foo_reflect.eff and save it to the "Effects" folder:

   <name>Effects/foo_reflect</name>

   <inherits-from>Effects/reflect</inherits-from>

   </parameters>

  </PropertyList>
