isValid

isValid()

Returns whether or not the shader has been set.

Return type: bool

1 = True
0 = False

Sample Code

# get the current scene

scene = GameLogic.getCurrentScene()

# get a list of the objects in the scene

objList = scene.objects

# get object named Cube

objCube = objList["OBCube"]

# only one mesh on cube

mesh = objCube.meshes[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 on this material

shader = mat.getShader()

# did it get the shader envelope?

if shader != None:

# Has it been set?

shaderSet = shader.isValid()

Game developers can use the game engine to create casual video games, first and third person shooters, role playing games, racing simulations and more. The game engine can be used to make both 2D games and 3D games. Beginning game developers will only need basic knowledge of game design and programming to create rich and complex game models with photo realistic textures to add detail to the graphics of the video game. Today's games need more than good looking low polygon game models. Use normal maps and photo realistic textures to create high quality game models.
