SetGlobalVector(string, Vector4)

Sets a global vector property for all shaders.
public static void SetGlobalVector(string name, Vector4 value)

Parameters

name

string
The name of the property.

value

Vector4

Remarks

Global properties are used if a shader needs them but the material does not have them defined (for example, if the shader does not expose them in 
Properties
block).
Usually this is used if you have a set of custom shaders that all use the same "global" vector (for example, wind direction). Then you can set the global property from script and don't have to setup the same vector in all materials.

SetGlobalVector(int, Vector4)

Parameters
