Pass custom parameters to standalone on launch

Hi
I know you can use Command line arguments to pass default values to either the Unity editor OR a Unity standalone executable on launch
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CommandLineArguments.html

However, I want to pass CUSTOM values, say 'showdebugging = false' or 'username=fred'. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

 

You mean like this? https://effectiveunity.com/articles/making-most-of-unitys-command-line.html

 

Thanks. Good article

And that's why archive.org exists, kids!

Basically:

Code (CSharp):

1. private static string GetArg(string name)
2. {
3.     var args = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();
4.     for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
5.     {
6.         if (args[i] == name && args.Length > i + 1)
7.         {
8.             return args[i + 1];
9.         }
10.     }
11.     return null;
12. }

and then:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Eg:  C:\Program Files\Unity\Unity.exe -outputDir "c:\temp\output" ...
2. // read the "-outputDir" command line argument
3. var outputDir = GetArg ("-outputDir");
