Include or exclude a setting in your build

By default, Unity doesn't include a setting ("strips" the setting) in your built project. For example, if you create a custom reference property where you set a shader asset, Unity doesn't include that property in your build.

You can choose to include a setting in your build instead. You can then get the value of the setting at runtime. The value is read-only.

Include a setting in your build

To include a setting in your build by default, set the IsAvailableInPlayerBuild property of your settings class to true.

For example, add the following line:

public bool IsAvailableInPlayerBuild => true;

Create your own stripping code

You can override the IsAvailableInPlayerBuild property by implementing the IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettingsStripper interface, and writing code that conditionally strips or keeps the setting.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a class that implements the IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettingsStripper interface, and pass in your settings class.
2. Implement the active property. If you set active to false, the code in the class doesn't run.
3. Implement the CanRemoveSettings method with your own code that decides whether to include the setting.
4. In your code, return either true or false to strip or keep the setting.

For example, in the following code, the CanRemoveSettings method returns true and strips the setting if the value of the setting is larger than 100.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;

// Implement the IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettingsStripper interface, and pass in our settings class
class SettingsStripper : IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettingsStripper<MySettings>
{

  // Make this stripper active
  public bool active => true;

  // Implement the CanRemoveSettings method with our own code
  public bool CanRemoveSettings(MySettings settings)
  {
    // Strip the setting (return true) if the value is larger than 100
    return settings.myValue > 100;
  }
}

If you implement IRenderPipelineGraphicsSettingsStripper multiple times for one setting, Unity only strips the setting if they all return true.

Check if your build includes a setting

You can check if a setting exists at runtime. A setting might not exist at runtime for one of the following reasons:

• Unity didn't include the setting in your build.
• The current pipeline doesn't support the setting.

Use TryGetRenderPipelineSettings to check if the setting exists. TryGetRenderPipelineSettings puts the setting in an out variable if it exists. Otherwise it returns false.

For example, the following code checks whether a settings group called MySettings exists at runtime:

if (GraphicsSettings.TryGetRenderPipelineSettings<MySettings>(out var mySetting)){
  Debug.Log("The setting is in the build and its value is {mySetting.myValue}");
}
