Unity Script Reference

Shader Inherits from Object

Shader scripts used for all rendering.

Most of the advanced rendering is controlled via Material class. Shader class is mostly used just to check whether a shader can run on the user's hardware (isSupported property) and to find shaders by name (Find method).

See Also: Material class, Materials, ShaderLab documentation.

Variables

isSupported	Can this shader run on the end-users graphics card? (Read Only)
maximumLOD	Shader LOD level for this shader.
renderQueue	Render queue of this shader (Read Only)

Class Variables

globalMaximumLOD

Shader LOD level for all shaders.

Class Functions

Find	Finds a shader with the given name.
SetGlobalColor	Sets a global color property for all shaders.
SetGlobalVector	Sets a global vector property for all shaders.
SetGlobalFloat	Sets a global float property for all shaders.
SetGlobalTexture	Sets a global texture property for all shaders.
SetGlobalMatrix	Sets a global matrix property for all shaders.
PropertyToID	Gets unique identifier for a shader property name.

Inherited members

Inherited Variables

name	The name of the object.
hideFlags	Should the object be hidden, saved with the scene or modifiable by the user?

Inherited Functions

GetInstanceID	Returns the instance id of the object.
ToString	Returns the name of the game object.

Inherited Class Functions

operator bool	Does the object exist?
Instantiate	Clones the object original and returns the clone.
Instantiate.<T>
Destroy	Removes a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediate	Destroys the object obj immediately. It is strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
FindObjectsOfType	Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
FindObjectOfType	Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.
operator ==	Compares if two objects refer to the same
operator !=	Compares if two objects refer to a different object
DontDestroyOnLoad	Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
