Shader dependent on Saber color? And Saber glow without the blade part?

[zicmak]

Just wondering, is there a shader that changes color based on the saber color? Or anything that replicates that (Like a shiny shader or something)? Also, is there a way to have a saber blade just show the glow and no blade?

 

[eezstreet]

Yes. The shaders you're looking for are in gfx/effects/saber. Each color has two shaders: one for blade and one for the glow around the blade.

So If i applied one of those shaders to a model, that model's shader color would change each time I changed the blade color (ingame)? 

[eezstreet]

No. The saber blade is hardcoded in that regard and you can't change a shader on a hilt or whatever based on the saber blade.

[zicmak]

Drat... Is there a shader that would reflect the blade color (a lot)?

[eezstreet]

Not that I know of.

[zicmak]

Okay... Is there a saber file command that lets you just have the saber blade? with no white core? (with no editing that would change all sabers)

[The One and Only]

You could make a custom effect that draws a line from the sabre hilt, but effects tend to appear detached during some moves.

Been trying that with a few base assets... also seems to cash when I try to throw the saber...
