Question by otg2 · Apr 07, 2015 at 06:13 PM · unity 5errorshader

Shader worked in Unity 4.5, now Unity 5 kills it.

Good day everyone.

The shader that I constructed in Unity 4 worked perfectly and as I upgraded to Unity 5 it only gives me that ugly pink/purple color in game and debugs the error "Material doesn't have a float or range property "_T"".

Now what google has told me is that this error is just some bug if there is something else wrong with the shader. First it said that it was missing semantics at line 48, so I changed the name to v2f which gave me the material missing property error. The float value is not the problem, does someone spot anything else?

Anyone have any clue about what has changed in Unity 5 - shader wise? Does this have anything to do with DirectX11 or something like that?

Best regards.

 Shader "Custom/Ottar_VertexBasic" {
 //Texture : ShadowPlane_Tex_01
      Properties
     {
         _MainTex ("Particle Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
         _T("Transparency", Range(0,1)) = 1
     }
     
     SubShader {
         Tags
         {
             "Queue" = "Transparent"
             "IgnoreProjector"="True"
             "RenderType"="Transparent"
         }

                 return texcol*i.color*_T;

If you rename _T, does it work? Silly question, but if it does why not just rename it?

No it does not. It is a know bug according to other users that the debug manager does not really say what is wrong.

It added #pragma exclude renderer_ps3_d3d11 so I think it has something to do with that. But even if I disable d11 and change to d9 it still does not work.

I found out! What a happy feeling to start a Saturday!

So - when I upgraded to unity 5 this was added to my cd code

 // Upgrade NOTE: excluded shader from DX11 and Xbox360; has structs without semantics (struct v2f members color)
 //#pragma exclude_renderers d3d11 xbox360

and in my v2f structure it was

 struct v2f
             {
                 float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
                 float4 tex : TEXCOORD0;
                 float4 color;
             };


So changing the last line to float4 color : COLOR0;

Fixed it. It was just missing a extra input which Unit 4 somehow allowed. Case closed
