Add a setting

Add a simple property or a reference property to a custom graphics settings group. You can change the values of the setting in the Unity Editor while you're editing your project.

Unity serializes the graphics settings you add. For more information, refer to Script serialization.

Note: The value of a custom setting is static in a built project. You can't change the setting at runtime.

Add a simple property

To add a simple property, add a field to your IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettings class using the [SerializeField] attribute. For example:

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal;

[Serializable]
[SupportedOnRenderPipeline(typeof(UniversalRenderPipelineAsset))] 

// Create a new settings group by implementing the IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettings interface
public class MySettings : IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettings
{
  // Add a private field for the version property
  int internalVersion = 1;

  // Implement the public version property
  public int version => internalVersion;

  // Add a float setting
  [SerializeField]
  private float mySetting = 1.0f;

  // Add a Material reference property
  [SerializeField]
  public Material myMaterial;
}

Set the default asset for a reference property

To set a default asset for a reference property, for example a material, add a [ResourcePath] attribute. For example:

public class MySettings: IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettings
{
  ...
  [SerializeField]
  [ResourcePath('path-to-default-file')]
  public Material myMaterial;
}
