So I've been truing to follow the official snapshot of these new cool per-instance uniforms in shaders and didn't quite understand it. When I add instance prefix, the hint_range just disappears and is nowhere found and my variable defaults to 0 (in shader's calculations).

I'm using it on sprite2D node

shader_type canvas_item;
instance uniform float opacity : hint_range(0,1) = 1;

void fragment(){
    vec4 color = texture(TEXTURE,UV);
    color.a-=opacity;
    COLOR = color;
}

/
Did anyone figure out what that means, did anyone meet the similar issue?

It looks like instance uniforms are only implemented for spatial shaders at the moment.

From Juan (the feature creator):

Oh just as a side note, per instance uniforms are not working for 2D (CanvasItems) because I could not find a way to implement them. I am planning to eventually rewrite the 2D rendering code to make it more efficient before 4.0 is out, now that I am more proficient with Vulkan so I will properly implement those there.
