[SOLVED] Have doubles in a shader

Post by 0x72 »

Hi guys! I have a problem I couldn't find answer to, but my bet is the answer is super simple and I'll feel stupid after someone help me (thanks in advance :)).

I need to use doubles in my shader code. number is just a float so it's not good.

Minimal example:

Code: Select all

vec4 effect(vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 tex_coords, vec2 screen_coords) {
  double n = 0.2; // ???
  return vec4(n, n, n, 1.0);
}

Code: Select all

Error: Cannot compile pixel shader code:
Line 2: ERROR: 'double' : Reserved word.
Line 2: ERROR: 'double' : syntax error: syntax error
Any ideas?

I'm not 100% sure but did you make sure the current version of openGL / glsl supports double?
