Title: [SOLVED] Unitys Shadergraph Float access?
Post by: Adam Z on March 13, 2019, 01:55:23 PM
Hi, for some reason I can't access my Materials float when I created it with Shadergraph. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I think shader graph mangles the names. This might help:

When a new property is added, it generates an inscrutable string, as visible on the second picture above. To access the property, you just need to define a name there (convention is _yourPropertyParameter).

To be a bit more specific; when you create your shader with Unity's Shader Graph and add a parameter to the Blackboard, it generates a Reference ID (i.e. Texture2D_355C4C5). You can either use that, or rename it to whatever you'd like (it seems to put an _ before whatever you decide to name it). Just use your renamed Reference ID (i.e. _ThisIsRenamed)  in your Playmaker node and you should be good to go.

Thanks everyone.
