The defi instruction defines a shader constant whose value is loaded anytime a shader is set to a device. These are called immediate constants. Immediate constants take precedence over constants set by the API method SetPixelShaderConstantB.

There are two ways to set a constant in a shader.

  1. Use defi to define the constant directly inside a shader.
  2. Use the API methods to set a constant.
