| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| nameID | Property name ID, use Shader.PropertyToID to get it. |
| name | Property name, e.g. "_WaveAndDistance". |
| value | Vector value to set. |
Sets a value for a named vector in the material.
Four component vectors and colors are the same in Unity shaders. SetVector does almost exactly the same
as SetColor just the input data type is different (xyzw in the vector becomes rgba in the color).
The only difference is that color values are be converted from sRGB to Linear value, when using linear color space
(see properties in shader programs).
You can also use SetVector to assign values to float2 or float3 properties defined in the shader.
