Monogame, Effect can't find parrameter.

Here is a Visual Studio Solution i want you to test out. e.Parameters["alpha"] is null i its been hours i can't find why

$code

To post C# code type the following: ```cs // code here ``` Get an example by typing $codegif in chat For longer snippets, use: https://paste.mod.gg/

its better if you show a piece of code where exatcly you have issue

It seems to be an error from more than code Because, someone told me that my code was fine

Nobody will download a file, especially a zip file to help. Please upload the code by using $paste

If your code is too long, you can post to https://paste.mod.gg/, save, and copy the link into chat for others to see your shared code!

what do you mean more than code? where are you getting those values

here is the Effect code (hlsl) and in my monogame code, e.Parameters["alpha"] is null where e is an instance of the Effect script

blueberriesiftheywerecats•4mo ago

I dont rly know hlsl but maybe you have to mark "alpha" to be out variable or smth

FriteOP•4mo ago

well i followed a tutorial, and i can't figure out what i did wrong oh wait, i'm so sorry its just because i made an Effect object instead of a SpriteEffect i'm gonna close this down sorry waisting your time
