Get a named vector value.
public Vector4 GetVector(string name)

Parameters

name

string
The name of the property.

Returns

Type

Description

Vector4

Remarks

Four component vectors and colors are the same in Unity shaders. 
GetVector
does exactly the same as Material.GetColor just the input data type is different (
xyzw
in the vector becomes 
rgba
in the color). The only difference is that color values are converted from sRGB to Linear value, when using linear color space (see properties in shader programs).
Additional Resources: Material.GetColor, Material.SetVector, Shader.PropertyToID.

GetVector(int)

Get a named vector value.
public Vector4 GetVector(int nameID)

Parameters

int
The name ID of the property retrieved by Shader.PropertyToID.

Returns
