The supplied API uses the WaterCryo<T> reactive system — set .value and the shader updates automatically.
Runtime API Examples
var water = GetComponent<ModernWater2D>(); // Change water color water.settings._waterSettings.color.value = Color.blue; // Change foam speed water.settings._waterSettings.foamSpeed.value = new Vector2(0.5f, 0.1f); // Toggle reflections water.enableReflections.value = false; // Switch render mode water.renderMode = WaterRenderMode.Tilemap; water.ApplyRenderMode(); // Access the active material water.ActiveSharedMaterial.SetFloat("_surfaceAlpha", 0.5f);
