Graphics.activeTier (Shader Quality)
« on: April 13, 2018, 04:44:03 AM »
Hello. I want to add a Shader Quality setting to my game. For this, i should change the Shader Tier from "Edit>Project Settings>Graphics"

This is actually something that is done automatically by unity but I still want to add it as a setting on the options menu.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Graphics-activeTier.html

Thanks.

Ok I created a script myself. Works great.

Code: [Select]
using UnityEngine;
using System;

namespace HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions
{
[ActionCategory("QualitySettings")]
[Tooltip("Shader hardware tier classification for current device.")]
public class SetGlobalShaderHardwareTier2 : FsmStateAction
{
public override void OnEnter()
{

UnityEngine.Shader.globalShaderHardwareTier = UnityEngine.Rendering.ShaderHardwareTier.Tier2;

Finish();
}
}
}

Hi.
Thanks for sharing the script :)

I tested it but i got some obselete warnigs so i rewrote the script.
i also set an enum so you could select the other tiers :

Code: [Select]
// (c) Copyright HutongGames, LLC 2010-2014. All rights reserved.
/*--- __ECO__ __PLAYMAKER__ __ACTION__ ---*/
// keywords : shader quality , shaderquality , globalShaderHardwareTier , ShaderHardwareTier

using UnityEngine;
using System;

namespace HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions
{
    [ActionCategory("QualitySettings")]
    [Tooltip("Shader hardware tier classification for current device.")]
    public class SetGraphicsActiveTier : FsmStateAction
    {
        [Tooltip("The torque forceMode")]
        [ObjectType(typeof(UnityEngine.Rendering.GraphicsTier))]
        public FsmEnum tier;


        public override void OnEnter()
        {
            Graphics.activeTier = (UnityEngine.Rendering.GraphicsTier)tier.Value;
            Finish();
        }
    }
}


I also gave a different name and added it to the Ecosystem

Could you test if it works?

Hi.
Thanks for testing !

Don't stop making actions when needed and post it here, it can always benefit someone :)

and the more you play around with the scripts the easier it gets :)

also feel free to ask, if you get stuck :D

Hey djaydino,

This thing is working great on Editor. But when I build my game, it's not working.
Do you know why?

I really want to change the shader quality on the options menu. This leads to more optimization.

Thanks!

Hi.

Did you try also with your action?

What platform are you building to?

I got a feeling that this only works in the editor.
As i can only find editor scripts for them.

Maybe you need to look in quality settings, there are some quality actions on the Ecosystem.

My build target is Windows PC.
I also tried with my action.

...It seems so.

I hope someone can answer this question.

Hi.
I went on GDL Discord channel and they confirmed it,
Maybe Shader LOD can help?

Alright! Thanks.

Here's my script:

Code: [Select]
using UnityEngine;
using System;

namespace HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions
{
[ActionCategory("QualitySettings")]
[Tooltip("Shader LOD level for all shaders.")]
public class SetGlobalMaximumLOD : FsmStateAction
{

[RequiredField]
[Tooltip("")]
public FsmInt amount;

public override void Reset()
{
amount = null;
}

public override void OnEnter()
{

UnityEngine.Shader.globalMaximumLOD = (amount.Value);

Finish();
}
}
}

Does this action still works? I can't seem to find it on the Ecosystem.

Hi.
They might not be on the Ecosystem.

But you can create a c# script and copy paste the code.
give the script the same name as the Class name, so its easier to find (SetGlobalMaximumLOD in this case)

I have set a bookmark so i can add to the ecosystem when i have time :)
