# setMeshSamplerStates(_:lodMinClamps:lodMaxClamps:range:) Assigns multiple sampler states and clamp values to a range of entries in the mesh shader argument table. ``` func setMeshSamplerStates(_ samplers: [(any MTLSamplerState)?], lodMinClamps: [Float], lodMaxClamps: [Float], range: Range) ``` ## Parameters `samplers` An array of [`MTLSamplerState`](/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerState) instances the command assigns to entries in the mesh shader argument table for sampler states. `lodMinClamps` An array of floating-point values. Each element is the smallest level of detail value a mesh shader can use when it samples a texture with the corresponding element in `samplers`. `lodMaxClamps` An array of floating-point values. Each element is the largest level of detail value a mesh shader can use when it samples a texture with the corresponding element in `samplers`. `range` A span of integers that represent the entries in the mesh shader argument table for sampler states. Each entry stores a record of the corresponding element in `samplers`. ## Discussion Each element of the method’s `lodMinClamps` and `lodMaxClamps` parameters overrides the default values for the corresponding sampler in `samplers`. You can set a sampler’s default values by configuring the [`lodMinClamp`](/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerDescriptor/lodMinClamp) and [`lodMaxClamp`](/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerDescriptor/lodMaxClamp) properties of [`MTLSamplerDescriptor`](/documentation/Metal/MTLSamplerDescriptor) before you create the sampler. By default, the sampler state at each index is `nil`. > Note: > The Objective-C version of this method is ``doc://com.apple.metal/documentation/Metal/MTLRenderCommandEncoder/setMeshSamplerStates:lodMinClamps:lodMaxClamps:withRange:``. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
