Question by Chocolade · Apr 27, 2020 at 11:27 PM · c#post processing post-process-effect

Why am I getting error when using postprocessing v2 on profile.TryGetSettings ?

In the editor on my Camera I added two components : Post Process Layer and Post Process Volume On the first component the layer I changed the Layer to a layer I added PostProcessing On the second component I set the Is Global to true and added one effect for now Depth Of Field

Now I want to change and set values to the Depth Of Field Focal Length via a script. So I created a new script :

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing;
 
 public class PostprocessingEffects : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private PostProcessVolume postProcessVolume;
     private PostprocessingEffects depthOfField;
 
     void Start()
     {
         postProcessVolume = GetComponent<PostProcessVolume>();
         postProcessVolume.profile.TryGetSettings(out depthOfField);
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
 
     }
 
     /*public GameObject player;
     public bool dephOfFieldFinished = false;
 
     private PostProcessVolume postProcessVolume;
     private DepthOfField depthOffield;
     private Animator playerAnimator;
     private float clipLength;
     private Coroutine depthOfFieldRoutineRef;
 
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
         postProcessVolume = GetComponent<PostProcessVolume>();
     }
 
     private void OnEnable()
     {
         if (depthOfFieldRoutineRef != null)
         {
             StopCoroutine(depthOfFieldRoutineRef);
         }
 
         playerAnimator = player.GetComponent<Animator>();
 
         clipLength = playerAnimator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).length;
         
         var depthOfField = postProcessingProfile.depthOfField.settings;
         depthOfField.focalLength = 300;
         StartCoroutine(changeValueOverTime(depthOfField.focalLength, 1, clipLength));
         postProcessingProfile.depthOfField.settings = depthOfField;
         // Don't forget to set depthOfFieldRoutineRef to null again at the end of routine!
     }
 
     IEnumerator changeValueOverTime(float fromVal, float toVal, float duration)
     {
         //playerLockManager.PlayerLockState(true, true);
 
         float counter = 0f;
 
         while (counter < duration)
         {
             var dof = postProcessingProfile.depthOfField.settings;
 
             if (Time.timeScale == 0)
                 counter += Time.unscaledDeltaTime;
             else
                 counter += Time.deltaTime;
 
             float val = Mathf.Lerp(fromVal, toVal, counter / duration);
 
             dof.focalLength = val;
             postProcessingProfile.depthOfField.settings = dof;
 
             yield return null;
         }
 
         playerAnimator.enabled = false;
         dephOfFieldFinished = true;
         depthOfFieldRoutineRef = null;
     }*/
 }

The bottom code is my old script when using postprocessing v1 now I want to do the same with my old code but with postprocessing v2

I'm getting error on the line :

 postProcessVolume.profile.TryGetSettings(out depthOfField);

On the TryGetSettings and the error is :

The type 'PostprocessingEffects' cannot be used as type parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'PostProcessProfile.TryGetSettings(out T)'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'PostprocessingEffects' to 'UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing.PostProcessEffectSettings'.

How can I fix this error and how can I use it with my old code ?
