BitmapExpression: UseBlankSource

Post by rrTea »

What does that do? If it does what the name implies to me, the same effect would be achieved by just putting the BitmapExpression first in the list, so I assume there's more to it than that…

It is set automatically when needed by the tool. Since the producers list is just a flat list, if there is a bitmapexpression in the middle then that needs to know it should start with a blank input.

In this image both of the BitmapExpressions have UseBlankInput set to true, because otherwise at runtime when ZGE processes the Producers list the second BitmapExpression would use the input of the first one. It really is an implementation detail so not sure it ever needs to be manually adjusted.
