Shader: isValid

isValid()
  • Returns whether or not the shader has been set.

Return Type:

  • boolean
  • True = shader was set
  • False = shader not set
Note:
  • Shaders work with Viewport Shading GLSL and Viewport Shading Multitexture.
     
  • Shaders don't work with Viewport Shading Singletexture.
Sample Code

############################# get if the shader was set

# import bge
import bge

# get the current controller
cont = bge.logic.getCurrentController()

# get object that owns this controller
obj = cont.owner
 
# Get a list of the mesh
meshList = obj.meshes

# Get the first mesh on the object
mesh = meshList[0]
 
# only one material on mesh
mat = mesh.materials[0]

# Using Blender GLSL Materials or Blender Multitexture Materials?
if hasattr( mat, 'getMaterialIndex') == True:

# get shader envelope
shader = mat.getShader()

# did it get the shader envelope?
if shader != None:
 
# Has it been set?
shaderSet = shader.isValid()
