    Hi,
    i'm currently transitioning to URP shaders and having troubles to place my static consts somewhere... Like e.g.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. static const float PI = 3.14159265359;
    No mattter where i put it, it keeps telling me

    Code (CSharp):
    1. Shader error in 'Hidden/PlanetEffects/Water': syntax error: unexpected float constant at line 35 (on d3d11)

    Try to place it above the functions. That did seemed to do the trick for me.

    URP include files may contain a #define PI ....., so it will collide with your definition, simply use another name, say PI_ME solves it.
