Accessing custom shader properties in Unity

Learn how to access custom shader properties using GameDriver

Custom shader properties may need to be accessed sometimes to perform certain checks. In this case, api.CallMethod() can be used to call the respective Get / Set methods from the object's material, just like how they are accessed in Unity.

Shader code

Properties
    {
        _CustomColorProperty("Custom Color Property", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
        _MainTex ("Albedo (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {}
        _Glossiness ("Smoothness", Range(0,1)) = 0.5
        _Metallic ("Metallic", Range(0,1)) = 0.0
    }

Test script code

api.CallMethod<Color>("//*[@name='TestObject']/fn:component('UnityEngine.MeshRenderer')/@material", "GetColor", new object[]{ "_CustomColorProperty" });
