'TestMaterial' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Renderer'.

Hi
I’m new to this so this may be a daft question. I have created a unique shader called Testshader with a color parameter called TestColor in it. I have applied this test shader to the material called TestMaterial. I have now written a very small Java script to change the value of the parameter TestColor but for some reason it throws up this error message when I try and run the game:

Assets/ShaderScript.js(5,10): BCE0019: ‘TestMaterial’ is not a member of ‘UnityEngine.Renderer’.

I have no idea what this means and I can’t find anything online about it (which makes me wonder if I’m doing something really stupid, LOL!)

Here’s the code I’m using in the Java script:

function Update () {
renderer.TestMaterial.SetColor(“_TestColor”, Color.red) = 0.5;
}

I’m hoping someone can help me out :slight_smile:

Thankyou in advance

Change TestMaterial to material or sharedMaterial, depending what you’re trying

If there are multiple materials, you can also use materials to get the array of materials
