Effect::SetEffectListIndex

Sets the effect list index.

void SetEffectListIndex(uint32 index);

index

The effect list index. This may be one of the values listed below.

The SetEffectListIndex function sets the index of the render list in which the effect is placed when it is visible. The index parameter can be one of the following constants.

kEffectListFullLight	Fully lit opaque effects. These are rendered with all types of lighting just like ordinary geometry before all other effects.
kEffectListPartialLight	Partially lit transparent effects. These are rendered after surface effects and before primary transparent effects. Only ambient or unified lighting is applied.
kEffectListOpaque	Opaque effects. These are rendered after the final lighting pass and before any transparent effects.
kEffectListSurface	Surface effects. These are rendered after all opaque effects and before all transparent effects.
kEffectListTransparent	Primary transparent effects. These are rendered after all opaque effects and are sorted back to front.
kEffectListFrontmost	Frontmost transparent effects. These are rendered after primary transparent effects. They are not sorted.
kEffectListOcclusion	Occlusion queries. These are invisible effects that are rendered after the ambient or unified lighting pass to perform and occlusion query.
kEffectListDistortion	Distortion effects. These are rendered into the distortion buffer, and the accumulated results are applied during post-processing.
kEffectListComposite	Composite effects. These are rendered into the composite buffer, which is later used as a source for ordinary lighting passes.

By default, an effect is placed in the kEffectListTransparent list, but some effect subclasses change this value.
