Changing blend mode with global keyword

Graphics Shaders & Materials
1

I was wondering if its possible to use a different blend mode depending on whether a global keyword is set or not.

It does seem like its possible with a property in the material (though poorly documented), but i’d really like to keep the same material. Any info is greatly appreciated!

No, it is not. Keywords can be used to change the shader variant, and shader variants can only change code inside the CGPROGRAM blocks. Further, global shader values cannot affect the blend mode either. The only way to do this is by setting the material properties directly (or maybe by using a MaterialPropertBlock on the renderer).
