Question by nathanvj · Jul 22, 2016 at 10:44 AM · c#scripting problemshadersloop

What is wrong with my script to change shader on all GameObjects?

I wrote this script so that I wouldn't have to change each material manually, but so that the script would do the work for me.

However it's not working. And yes, I have the shader assigned in the inspector.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class ToonMaterialScript : MonoBehaviour {
 
     // Array to store all the GameObjects in the scene
     GameObject[] AllGameObjects;
     // Shader assigned in the inspector
     public Shader Shader;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         
         // Find All GameObjects
         AllGameObjects = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType(typeof(GameObject)) as GameObject[];
 
         // Loop through all GameObjects
         foreach (GameObject go in AllGameObjects) {
             // If the Gameobject has a material
             if (go.GetComponent<Material>()) {
                 // Get the material of the gameobject
                 Material mat = go.GetComponent<Material> ();
                 // Set the shader of the material of the gameobject
                 mat.shader = Shader;
             }
         }
     }
 }

You cannot directly change the Material used to render an object. Instead you can access it via the Renderer component.

Something like this :

 foreach (GameObject go in AllGameObjects) {
              // If the Gameobject has a material
              if (go.GetComponent<Renderer>()) {
                  // Get the material of the gameobject
                  Material mat = go.GetComponent<Renderer> ().material;
                  // Set the shader of the material of the gameobject
                  mat.shader = Shader;
              }
          }

Awesome it worked.

However I thought that if I would run the script once, the materials shaders would stay that shader even when I stop the gameview.

(That is usually when you manually edit the shaders during run time)

How can I make them stay that shader even when exiting unity preview?

Should I use [ExecuteInEdit$$anonymous$$ode]?

Yup, [ExecuteInEdit$$anonymous$$ode] worked! Just tried it.
