## GetVector(string)

Get a vector from the property block.

```csharp
public Vector4 GetVector(string name)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): The name of the property.

### Returns

| Type                                                              | Description |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| [Vector4](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/vector4.md) |             |

### Remarks

Returns zero vector if not found. If the value is previously set using [MaterialPropertyBlock.SetColor](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/materialpropertyblock/setcolor.md), the returned vector value is the sRGB color value converted for the active color space.
