As some of you might know I added a little glow effect to the physgun in my game for when objects are being held, well as fewer of you may know it doesn’t perform too well with big objects, so I thought I would take a basic line shader and add the glowing effect I was looking for, this time it actually glows which is what I was aiming for the first time.
Here’s the code:
--# GLine
GLine = class()
function GLine:init(ent,width)
-- you can accept and set parameters here
self.m = mesh()
self.r = {}
local pos1 = nil
local pos2 = nil
for i=1,4 do
if i == 1 then
pos1 = ent.points[i]
pos2 = ent.points[4]
else
pos1 = ent.points[i]
pos2 = ent.points[i-1]
end
local d = (pos1-pos2)
self.r[i] = self.m:addRect(pos1.x-d.x/2,pos1.y-d.y/2,d:len(),width*5,angleOfPoint(d)/mp)
end
self.m.shader = shader(shadr.vS,shadr.fS)
self.m.shader.color = vec4(0,1,2,1)
self.m.shader.len = (ent.points[1]-ent.position):len()/45
self.width = width
end
function GLine:setPositions(ent)
local pos1,pos2
for i=1,4 do
if i == 1 then
pos1 = ent.points[i]:rotate(ent.angle/mp)
pos2 = ent.points[4]:rotate(ent.angle/mp)
else
pos1 = ent.points[i]:rotate(ent.angle/mp)
pos2 = ent.points[i-1]:rotate(ent.angle/mp)
end
local d = (pos1-pos2)
self.m:setRect(self.r[i],ent.x+pos1.x-d.x/2,ent.y+pos1.y-d.y/2,d:len(),self.width*5,angleOfPoint(d)/mp)
end
self.m.shader.len = (ent.points[1]-ent.position):len()/45
end
function GLine:draw()
self.m.shader.time = ElapsedTime*2
self.m:draw()
end
function GLine:touched(touch)
-- Codea does not automatically call this method
end
shadr = {vS = [[
uniform mat4 modelViewProjection;
attribute vec4 position;
attribute vec4 color;
attribute vec2 texCoord;
varying lowp vec4 vColor;
varying highp vec2 vTexCoord;
void main()
{
//Pass the mesh color to the fragment shader
vColor = color;
vTexCoord = texCoord;
//Multiply the vertex position by our combined transform
gl_Position = modelViewProjection * position;
}
]],
fS = [[

sin(time*10.0+25.0*vTexCoord.x*0.055*len)*1.9+3.0;
mediump vec2 vTexCoordn = 1.0-2.0*vec2(vTexCoord.x,vTexCoord.y);
lowp float dist = sqrt(vTexCoordn.x*vTexCoordn.x+vTexCoordn.y*vTexCoordn.y);
vTexCoordn.x = 0.0;
//Premult
gl_FragColor = color*(1.4-length(vTexCoordn)*0.7*mp-dist);
}
]]}
-- Codea does not automatically call this method
--# GStroke
GStroke = class()
function GStroke:init(pos1,pos2,width)
-- you can accept and set parameters here
self.pos1 = pos1

if t.state == BEGAN and body:testPoint(vec2(t.x,t.y)) then

end
if holding ~= nil then

end
if t.state == ENDED then

end
end
This is a little example of what it can be used for, hope you enjoy it, I was looking for one of these for 2D for ages! But I thought I might as well try and write my own, the performance is much better!
