public method SetComputeBufferParam(computeShader: ComputeShader, kernelIndex: int, name: string, buffer: ComputeBuffer): void;
public void SetComputeBufferParam(ComputeShader computeShader, int kernelIndex, string name, ComputeBuffer buffer);
public method SetComputeBufferParam(computeShader: ComputeShader, kernelIndex: int, nameID: int, buffer: ComputeBuffer): void;
public void SetComputeBufferParam(ComputeShader computeShader, int kernelIndex, int nameID, ComputeBuffer buffer);

Parameters

computeShader ComputeShader to set parameter for.
kernelIndexWhich kernel the buffer is being set for. See ComputeShader.FindKernel.
nameName of the buffer variable in shader code.
nameIDProperty name ID. Use Shader.PropertyToID to get this ID.
bufferBuffer to set.

Description

Adds a command to set an input or output buffer parameter on a ComputeShader.

Buffers and textures are set per-kernel. Use ComputeShader.FindKernel to find kernel index by function name.

Setting a compute buffer to a kernel will leave the append/consume counter value unchanged. To set or reset the value, use ComputeBuffer.SetCounterValue.
