> Set a buffer property.

## Definition

* **Type:** Method
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

## SetBuffer(string, ComputeBuffer)

Set a buffer property.

```csharp
public void SetBuffer(string name, ComputeBuffer value)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): The name of the property.**** (\[ComputeBuffer]\(/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/computebuffer)): The [ComputeBuffer](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/computebuffer.md) or [GraphicsBuffer](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/graphicsbuffer.md) to set.

### Remarks

Adds a property to the block. If a buffer property with the given name already exists, the old value is replaced.
