    I have a shader that basically does one thing (clear the zbuffer for an object) and then does UsePass to use the Standard Shader. Is there an easy way to sort of "subclass" the Standard Shader and have all its properties and things show up? Or do I need to just copy and paste the Properties section from the standard shader source code?

    I'm confused. When you say the Standard shader do you mean Unity's Standard shader or Alloy's Core shader?

    Yes, copy the Properties block; and you probably also want to use the same custom editor (so copy the CustomEditor statement too).

    Yes I meant Unity 5's shader. Thanks Aras!
