## SetComputeTextureParam(ComputeShader, int, string, RenderTargetIdentifier)

Adds a command to set a texture parameter on a [ComputeShader](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/computeshader.md).

```csharp
public void SetComputeTextureParam(ComputeShader computeShader, int kernelIndex, string name, RenderTargetIdentifier rt)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[ComputeShader]\(/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/computeshader)): [ComputeShader](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/computeshader.md) to set parameter for.**** (\[int]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.int32)): Which kernel the texture is being set for.
