HDRP Depth of field change settings in script,Updating HDRP Depth of field in scripts

Questions & Answers
1

I have created a new Scene Settings and added a Depth of Field override to the volume that was created from that. In it, I set the focus mode to use physical camera, then changed the focus distance. What I want is to be able to dynamically change the focus distance from a script.

So far I have the following code which compiles, but does not change anything. Any help would be appreciated.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing;

public class DOFController : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject DOFFocus;
private float dist;

public PostProcessVolume volume;
DepthOfField depthOfField;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    volume.profile.TryGetSettings(out depthOfField);
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    dist = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, DOFFocus.transform.position);
    depthOfField.focusDistance.value = dist;
    volume.profile.GetSetting<DepthOfField>().focusDistance.value = dist;
}

} ,In Scene Settings, I added an override to the volume script to create a depth of field effect. In it I am using a physical camera where I set the focus distance and other settings. I want to be able to dynamically change the value for the Focus Distance using a script.

I’ve tried the following code, but with no results. Any help would be appretiated

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering.PostProcessing;

public class DOFController : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject DOFFocus;
private float dist;

public PostProcessVolume volume;
DepthOfField depthOfField;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    volume.profile.TryGetSettings(out depthOfField);
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    dist = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, DOFFocus.transform.position);
    depthOfField.focusDistance.value = dist;
    volume.profile.GetSetting<DepthOfField>().focusDistance.value = dist;
}

}
