Resolved Controlling Volumetric Clouds at Runtime

Hello,

I'm trying to set the Volumetric Clouds Preset to "Cloudy" with a script at runtime, but I am unable to figure out how to actually do that.

I've read through the Documentation here and the Volume Scripting API Documentation here. I just haven't really done much with controlling Volumes before and I'm hitting a wall with coming up with stuff.

For testing, I've set up a button that when pressed calls the "CloudySky" function. However I can't get anything to work, so the only thing I have setting in it is "Debug.log"

I feel like it's has something to do with VolumetricClouds.CloudPresets.Cloudy or VolumetricClouds.CloudPresetsParameter, but I haven't had any luck with figuring it out yet. I feel like I got close to getting it to work.

The code below is more of just a empty shell I'm trying to figure it all out in.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine.Rendering;
2. using UnityEngine.Rendering.HighDefinition;
3.  
4. public class CloudControl : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.    
7.     public Volume cloud_Volume;
8.  
9.     public void CloudySky()
10.     {
11.         Debug.Log("Testing Clouds");
12.         //Set VolumetricClouds.CloudPresets.Cloudy
13.     }
14. }
15.  

 

I was able to figure out how to get it running with help from the Volumetric Cloud Forum Thread here

Here is a simple script that lets you change the Cloud Presets.

Created buttons for each Preset and the buttons just call the functions below.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.Rendering;
3. using UnityEngine.Rendering.HighDefinition;
4.  
5. public class CloudControl : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     [SerializeField] VolumeProfile volumeProfile;
8.     VolumetricClouds vClouds;
9.  
10.     public void Sparse()
11.     {
12.         if (volumeProfile.TryGet<VolumetricClouds>(out vClouds))
13.         {
14.             vClouds.cloudPreset.value = VolumetricClouds.CloudPresets.Sparse;
15.             Debug.Log(vClouds.cloudPreset);
16.         }
17.    
18.     }
19.     public void Cloudy()
20.     {
21.         if (volumeProfile.TryGet<VolumetricClouds>(out vClouds))
22.         {
23.             vClouds.cloudPreset.value = VolumetricClouds.CloudPresets.Cloudy;
24.             Debug.Log(vClouds.cloudPreset);
25.         }
26.  
27.     }
28.     public void Overcast()
29.     {
30.         if (volumeProfile.TryGet<VolumetricClouds>(out vClouds))
31.         {
32.             vClouds.cloudPreset.value = VolumetricClouds.CloudPresets.Overcast;
33.             Debug.Log(vClouds.cloudPreset);
34.         }
35.  
36.     }
37.     public void Stormy()
38.     {
39.         if (volumeProfile.TryGet<VolumetricClouds>(out vClouds))
40.         {
41.             vClouds.cloudPreset.value = VolumetricClouds.CloudPresets.Stormy;
42.             Debug.Log(vClouds.cloudPreset);
43.         }
44.  
45.     }
46.  
47. }
