They're defined like this.⤶ ⤶ ```⤶ float3 g_vColorTint < UiType( Color ); Default3( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ); UiGroup( "Color,10/20" ); >;⤶ ```⤶ ⤶ ## UiType⤶ ⤶ Describes how the variable should be represented in the editor.⤶ ⤶ |Name|Description|⤶ |-----|----------|⤶ | VectorText | Text boxes and sliders (this is the default) |⤶ | Slider | A slider type. Usually combined with a Range setting. |⤶ | Color | A Color picker, works on float3 or float4. |⤶ | CheckBox | On or off, generally used on bool |⤶ ⤶ ## Default⤶ ⤶ The Default lets you specify the default value for the variable. If you're filling a `float2`, it should be `Default2`, if you're filling a `float4` it should be `Default4` etc.⤶ ⤶ ## UiGroup⤶ ⤶ The UIGroup is used to sort the variable into a group, subgroup and define its order. So for example, given this..⤶ ⤶ ```⤶ float4 BorderColorL < UiType( Color ); Default4( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ); UiGroup( "Border,10/Colors,10/1" ); >;⤶ float4 BorderColorT < UiType( Color ); Default4( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ); UiGroup( "Border,10/Colors,10/2" ); >;⤶ float4 BorderColorR < UiType( Color ); Default4( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ); UiGroup( "Border,10/Colors,10/3" ); >;⤶ float4 BorderColorB < UiType( Color ); Default4( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ); UiGroup( "Border,10/Colors,10/4" ); >;⤶ ```⤶ ⤶ You end up with this⤶ ⤶ <upload src="1/8d89e07e3fc960b.png" size="16898" name="image.png" />⤶ ⤶ The format is⤶ ⤶ ```⤶ Heading,Order / Group,Order / VariableOrder⤶ ```⤶ ⤶
