BBMOD_VertexFormat

constructor

new BBMOD_VertexFormat([_confOrVertices[, _normals[, _uvs[, _colors[, _tangentw[, _bones[, _ids]]]]]]])

Description

A wrapper of a raw GameMaker vertex format.

Name	Type	Description
_confOrVertices	`Struct, Bool`	Either a struct with keys called after properties of `BBMOD_VertexFormat` and values `true` or `false`, depending on whether the vertex format should have the property, or `true`, since every vertex format must have vertex positions.
_normals	`Bool`	If `true` then the vertex format must have normal vectors. Defaults to `false`. Used only if the first argument is not a struct.
_uvs	`Bool`	If `true` then the vertex format must have texture coordinates. Defaults to `false`. Used only if the first argument is not a struct.
_colors	`Bool`	If `true` then the vertex format must have vertex colors. Defaults to `false`. Used only if the first argument is not a struct.
_tangentw	`Bool`	If `true` then the vertex format must have tangent vectors and bitangent signs. Defaults to `false`. Used only if the first argument is not a struct.
_bones	`Bool`	If `true` then the vertex format must have vertex weights and bone indices. Defaults to `false`. Used only if the first argument is not a struct.
_ids	`Bool`	If `true` then the vertex format must have ids for dynamic batching. Defaults to `false`. Used only if the first argument is not a struct.

Name	Description
Bones	If `true` then the vertex format has vertex weights and bone indices.
Colors	If `true` then the vertex format has vertex colors.
Ids	If `true` then the vertex format has ids for dynamic batching.
Normals	If `true` then the vertex format has normal vectors.
Raw	The raw vertex format.
TangentW	If `true` then the vertex format has tangent vectors and bitangent sign.
TextureCoords	If `true` then the vertex format has texture coordinates.
TextureCoords2	If `true` then the vertex format has a second texture coordinates layer.
Vertices	If `true` then the vertex format has vertices. Should always be `true`!

Name	Description
get_byte_size	Retrieves the size of a single vertex using the vertex format in bytes.
get_hash	Makes a hash based on the vertex format properties. Vertex buffers with same propereties will have the same hash.
