Hoping someone could assist me, or point me in the right direction. I'm trying to learn how to create animations using shaders and shit for some projects I have in mind and for the life of me I cannot get this stupid shit to work.

after spending what felt like 10 straight hours, I got shit how I want it, but no matter what I do I can't get the shader to let me toggle it. The effect won't work unless I just leave it on, but I want to be able to turn it off and on with a toggle in a menu, but literally nothing works. What the fuck am I doing wrong? The gameobject the shader is attached to isn't a selectable object in the animation window, so I can't create an on/off state for it. What am I doing wrong? Is there any info on how to do this correctly? Every tutorial is for 2.0 and outdated, or just outdated as fuck. I just want to create an animation I can toggle, with the effects from this shader but apparently I'm fucking retarded, or unity is just dogshit.
