Hi!
I have been trying to write a shader that uses TraceGeometry, but i keep running in to problems. I think i will need to set the flag "CHANNEL_RAYTRACING". Like this:

MyShader::GetInfo(settings){
     return CHANNEL_RAYTRACING;
}

…but I get a compilation error. What is wrong?

Regards
/Filip

This flag isn't available as a constant in C.O.F.F.E.E. then, but you can copy the value from the C++ API:

    
    
    #define SHADER_RAYTRACING    0x00000001 // shader needs raytracing  
    #define CHANNEL_RAYTRACING   0x00000001 // channel needs raytracing

That seems to work nicely with version 8, but both versions 7 and 6 crash as soon as my COFFEE channel implements GetInfo().
