Set of ttributes for Odin Inspector for drawing string as dropdown with shader properties from Shader, Material and Renderer.

Usage

Basic

// Reference to renderer
[SerializeField] private Renderer m_renderer;

// No parameters
[SerializeField, RendererPropertyID] private string m_id; 

// Point to m_renderer
[SerializeField, RendererPropertyID(nameof(m_renderer))] private string m_id2; 

// Limit property type
[SerializeField, RendererPropertyID(type: ShaderPropertyIDAttributeBase.Type.Color)] private string m_idColor;

(This is the same as seen on image)

RendererPropertyIDAttribute, MaterialsPropertyIDAttribute and ShaderPropertyIDAttribute work the same way, except reference type they require.

If reference is not set, set to null or *empty string, first reference of proper type found in siblings will be used. As seen in example m_id don't have any parameter set, so it will use m_renderer as reference.

Reference string is evaluated just like typical Odin Inspector expresions.

Type can be set to limit which properties should be listed in dropdown.
