I'm pretty sure it's possible but i have no idea how.
Could anyone tell me how to make a custom semantic for a pixel shader.
Thanks

\$\begingroup\$ do you need single value (same for all pixels) or do you need value per vertex? \$\endgroup\$– NotabeneJun 6, 2011 at 12:24

\$\begingroup\$ Each vertex has a value set for it, just a texture index (basically it is which texture should be used on that vertex) and then each pixel needs its color set depending on the texture index. So yeah i just need an integer passed through the vertexshader and into the pixel shader... \$\endgroup\$– JoelJun 6, 2011 at 13:38

Typically, you just use TEXCOORD for any data that DX doesn't understand.

This page suggests that the system doesn't give a crap, effectively, what semantics you give to your pixel shader inputs.

TEXCOORD. semantics. \$\endgroup\$– DeadMGJun 6, 2011 at 12:34 -
\$\begingroup\$ Yep k i got it :D ill just use it as a Vertex2D using the x value, because i have a feeling i will change it to need two values later anyway. \$\endgroup\$– JoelJun 6, 2011 at 13:39
