    Hey Guys,

    this may sound like most noobish question, but i'm trying to change the color of a material via script (like Player hits a box, the color changes.
    All of my attempts failed and i really don't know what i'm doing wrong. So if anybody could help me out, i would really appreciate. I'm working with 2018.3.14f.

    Thanks

    You can't use 
    Material.color
    as this is a shortcut for 
    Material.SetColor("_Color", ... )
    but in HDRP we use 
    _BaseColor
    .
    So you need to use 
    Material.SetColor("_BaseColor", ...)
    .

    @konsic
    Similarly, the emissive color is 
    _EmissiveColor
    .
    Note that we implemented some editor code do strip out the emission code in the shader if the color is full black (no emission) : this will cause the emission to not display if you change the value through script. To avoid that, you can simply have the emission not zero : (0,0,1/255) for example.

    _EmissiveIntensity
    (I suggest that you look in the material using the inspector in debug mode)

    @Remy_Unity thanks, got it. Is it also possible to change the vertex color per collision?

    To keep this a little bit up to date , for the standard shader the HDR color name is now _EmissionColor .
