Hello, so my issue is such, I have made a shader that causes a UV distortion in the fragment shader, to simulate “flame-like” effects at the edges. There are two variants of these shaders, one where the distortion is dependent on cc_time[0] i.e the time elapsed in seconds when a game is running. 1.0 - newUV.x), min(newUV.y,

I have a question related to shaders. I created a game in which I added a shader; it works fine in web mobile and Android, but in iOS it gives an error during rendering.

I’m just learning how a shader works. So, I just copied from the built-in sprite effect file to mine. Now, back to the issue, I think, only “cc_matWorld” is used from #include <builtin/uniforms/cc-local> If I commented both of these lines, there were no error. But, everything stopped working as intended.

I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. Interactive elements will be placed using the in-game editor.

For shaders, I used Amplify Shader Editor to add some visual effects on top of the render texture. Then I’ve put the recorded render texture to a Standard Shader. On top of this, I added another mesh with custom shader, this time, for refraction. And the outcome of the shader looks like this: And that’s it.
