I've upgraded my project to LWRP, I've changed my materials to: LWRP/lit. But in one of the gamemodes i need to change one my materials' color by script. I used to do it simply like wallMat.color = Color.red, but at LWRP that code doesn't work, how to fix it?
Edit: LWRP = Light Weight Render Pipeline
You can do this with a MaterialPropertyBlock, just like you would in the old pipeline to reduce the overhead of instantiating modified copies of materials. The only difference is that the shader property is called "_BaseColor" not "_Color":
// You can re-use this block between calls rather than constructing a new one each time.
var block = new MaterialPropertyBlock();
// You can look up the property by ID instead of the string to be more efficient.
block.SetColor("_BaseColor", Color.red);
// You can cache a reference to the renderer to avoid searching for it.
GetComponent<Renderer>().SetPropertyBlock(block);
player.transform.GetChild(0).gameObject.GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>().SetPropertyBlock(block); but it didn't work.

This works fine as well:
material.SetColor("_BaseColor", color);
I've tried matName.CopyPropertiesFromMaterial(otherMatName); and it worked! Creating another materials isn't the best way but in my case i've already had those materials and this way was the solution for me.
