ah well I think I found the best way now. It is more proper to use a Texture
proxy to handle this then you can tell in the vmt what the $resultVar is and
it will change that var based on your proxy. I was noticing this used
heavily in tf2 textures to do many things gameplay related such as blending
in a detail burn texture layer based on a burn proxy, etc.

This is the only way I know of also, and honestly its a terrible system to
try and make stuff work dynamically.

I've often wondered about things such as this. Passing variables from the
client to the shader dll so you can have things be dynamic. The only way
I
have been able to do it is have a parameter in the vmt (that I don't
write
in the vmt) that when loading shader for post process I get that vmt
param
and set it to my variables.
