So I was given a basic framework of an .fx file. In it, I have the vertex shader output structure, and the vertex shader function. (I left the other stuff out, but it works perfectly as-is).
I'm very new to programming shaders, but I need to start learning them to make my next game. Lets say I wanted the vertex shader to output something else, perhaps the position of the vertex in view space. I tried this:
float4 view : TEXCOORD2; and
OUT.view = mul( float4(IN.normal, 0) , worldView );
( I loaded the matrix in correctly from my application )
When I run the program, I get an error saying that OUT is being used without being initialized. Same thing happens if I add VS_OUTPUT OUT = (VS_OUTPUT)0;
Why does it think it's not initialized when I add something to it?
Hello,
Before I can answer you question, if I understood it right, you updated the shader code to the following?
Is this correct?

Hi,

I believe he already tried that, atleast that is what I understood from one his last phrases:

Yes, I already tried that, and it didn't work. And in the line I added to the vertex shader, it's suppose to use the vertex's position, not the normal. But it any case it shouldn't matter for the error it's giving me. And yes, that's what I changed it to Xeile.
Thanks for helping btw, I'm having a hard time finding good tutorials on HLSL.

Could you please post the entire .fx file you're trying to compile, or at least something that reproduces the compile error?

Here it is:

I feel dumb now. I didn't think to look at the other shader because I was thinking it had its own out structure for some reason, but it only has its own in structure. Thank you!
