How to apply a bool[] to a texture?
For my fog of war system, I have an array of booleans that determines what color each pixel of the texture is How can I set the texture based on this array of booleans? Do I have to iterate through every bool to set the individual pixels of the texture?
Yes, you'll have to iterate through the texture and bool array to determine result.

Thanks for the answer. I did some more snooping around and found SetPixels nearby. I think this is the right choice for me to get a Texture2D but I'm still having trouble getting it onto a plane for the visualization.
For per pixel coloring, you need a fragment shader. I'm not sure if it is possible to pass in arrays, but you could transform your bool array to s texture 2D and pass that in.
Oh and you could do a postprocess effect
Still, an iteration would be need to know what to shade and what not to shade.
ah, true. I looked into Texture2D and it has a neat SetPixel method. Ins$$anonymous$$d of a bool[], I'll use a byte[] which will work with it. Now I need to find a way to get it into a shader. Sorry I don't have much experience with them. Could you explain how to apply a Texture2D to a 'fragment shader'?
