api Add Shaders for AnimStates

[Fuffles]

It has come recently to my knowledge that Animations dont have a way to run custom shaders.
It is available for the ImageWidgets, why not give it to anims too? I have so many mod projects that I simply struggle with resource-wise because I cant apply color cube shaders or other custom shaders I've written and have to make the effects as seperate builds. The Ghost Haunted effect is already a shader and it works fine on anims so it has to be possible, right?

There is a way to run custom shaders on AnimStates though? Or maybe i'm misunderstanding.
 

inst.AnimState:SetBloomEffectHandle("shadername.ksh")

I've been able to use SetBloomEffectHandle perfectly fine for my custom shaders in the past.

Wouldnt this only work when bloom is on though?
Either way it still feels more like a hackier way rather than just adding what is already present in DS. I recall DS having SetEffect and SetEffectParams as AnimState args, why is it not present in DST though?

This is how bloom is applied, so no. Youd only be able to apply one shader at a time to AnimState though, so you cant have the games bloom shader and your own shader on the same AnimState at the same time.
