Access the particle system Custom Data module.
Once configured, this module will generate custom per-particle data, which you can use either in script or shaders.
To read the data from script, simply call ParticleSystem.GetCustomParticleData.
To read it in a shader, enable the custom data streams in the ParticleSystemRenderer Module, or call ParticleSystemRenderer.EnableVertexStreams from script. Once enabled, the custom data will be passed to your vertex shader through a TEXCOORD channel. The ParticleSystemRenderer Inspector will tell you which channels are being used.
Particle system modules do not need to be reassigned back to the system; they are interfaces and not independent objects.
See Also: ParticleSystemRenderer.EnableVertexStreams.
