CloseSet a color property.
Adds a property to the block. If a color property with the given name already exists, the old value is replaced.

Function variant that takes nameID is faster. If you are changing properties with the same name repeatedly,
use Shader.PropertyToID to get unique identifier for the name, and pass the identifier to SetColor.
#pragma strict // Draws 3 meshes with the same material but with different colors. public var mesh: Mesh; public var material: Material; private var block: MaterialPropertyBlock; private var colorID: int; function Start() { block = new MaterialPropertyBlock(); colorID = Shader.PropertyToID("_Color"); } function Update() { // red mesh block.SetColor(colorID, Color.red); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block); // green mesh block.SetColor(colorID, Color.green); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(5, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block); // blue mesh block.SetColor(colorID, Color.blue); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(-5, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block); }
using UnityEngine;
// Draws 3 meshes with the same material but with different colors. public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { public Mesh mesh; public Material material; private MaterialPropertyBlock block; private int colorID;

// green mesh block.SetColor(colorID, Color.green); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(5, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block);
// blue mesh block.SetColor(colorID, Color.blue); Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, new Vector3(-5, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, material, 0, null, 0, block); } }
