Hi,
i’m currently transitioning to URP shaders and having troubles to place my static consts somewhere… Like e.g.

static const float PI = 3.14159265359;

No mattter where i put it, it keeps telling me

Shader error in 'Hidden/PlanetEffects/Water': syntax error: unexpected float constant at line 35 (on d3d11)

replace it with defines? really? :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Try to place it above the functions. That did seemed to do the trick for me.

URP include files may contain a #define PI …, so it will collide with your definition, simply use another name, say PI_ME solves it.
