Resolved Material Overrides in 2023.1.0b1

Hello dear Unity developers,

I can't get Material Overrides to work in 2023.1.0a is it me or it's normal?
I'm using Entites 1.0.0-pre.15 and Entites Graphics 1.0.0-pre.15 in a new virgin project.

I use this script to test my material:

Code (CSharp):

1. using Unity.Entities;
2. using Unity.Rendering;
3. using Unity.Transforms;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.Rendering;
6.  
7. public class Tester : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     EntityManager entityManager;
10.  
11.     public Mesh     mesh;
12.     public Material material;
13.  
14.     RenderMeshDescription renderMeshDescription = new(
15.         shadowCastingMode: ShadowCastingMode.Off,
16.         receiveShadows: false);
17.  
18.     void Start()
19.     {
20.         entityManager = World.DefaultGameObjectInjectionWorld.EntityManager;
21.  
22.  
23.         EntityArchetype mainArchetype = entityManager.CreateArchetype(
24.             typeof(LocalTransform),
25.             typeof(LocalToWorld),
26.             typeof(TestoverOverride),
27.             typeof(RenderMeshArray),
28.             typeof(RenderBounds));
29.  
30.         Entity entityParent = entityManager.CreateEntity(mainArchetype);
31.  
32.         RenderMeshUtility.AddComponents(
33.             entityParent,
34.             entityManager,
35.             renderMeshDescription,
36.             new(new[] { material }, new[] { mesh }),
37.             MaterialMeshInfo.FromRenderMeshArrayIndices(0, 0));
38.  
39.         entityManager.SetComponentData(entityParent, new LocalTransform
40.         {
41.             Scale = 1
42.         });
43.  
44.         entityManager.SetComponentData(entityParent, new TestoverOverride
45.         {
46.             value = 1,
47.         });
48.     }
49. }
50.  
51. [MaterialProperty("Testover")]
52. public struct TestoverOverride : IComponentData
53. {
54.     public float value;
55. }
56.  
57.  
58. public partial class TestoverSystem : SystemBase
59. {
60.     protected override void OnUpdate()
61.     {
62.         Entities
63.             .ForEach((ref TestoverOverride maturityOverride) => { maturityOverride.value = 1000; })
64.             .ScheduleParallel();
65.     }
66. }

And this my shader.



I don't understand what's wrong. That's worked well in Unity 2022 with Entites 1.0.0-pre.12
How can I fix this?

Thank you for your help!

 

I've run into a similar problem updating to 2022.2.2f1 today, instanced properties no longer work on entities (possibly child entities, still debugging).

It worked in 2022.2.1f1 and before.

Edit: Confirmed it still works ind 2022.2.1, but not in 2022.2.2

 

Wonderful! the bug is solved in 2023.1.a25

Thank you!

 

Unfortunately, it only worked in the editor, not when the game is build...
(2023.1.0.b1)

 

2023.1.x does not support Entities package yet. Use Entities/DOTS with 2022.2 only for now.

 

Hooray! It's work in editor and build on 2023.1.0b3

 

Glad to here it!
