Description
Trying to pass a shader uniform handle argument to shader_set_uniform_matrix() gives the error "GM1041 - The type 'id.Uniform' appears where the type 'Real' is expected.", despite the documentation for this function saying that it's supposed to be given a shader uniform handle.
I've noticed this bug on both the Febraury and April releases
I'm assuming this is a bug because the code example in the documentation itself also throws the same error. The documentation for this function and for anything with matrices in general is vague and a bit wack so idk.
Steps To Reproduce
1.) Create a shader with a uniform
2.) Use shader_get_uniform() to grab the uniform handle and store it in a variable
3.) Use that variable as the argument for shader_set_uniform_matrix()
I mentioned it in the description, but the code example in the documentation for this function also throws the same error
