How To Make a Button Cooldown Effect in Unity (Powered by ex2D)

If you have played any Blizzard game, you should know what a button/skill cooldown effect is. In this tutorial I will walk you through a very simple technique to achieve the effect in Unity with the help of ex2D and "Depth Mask" shader from pixelplacement.

About ex2D:

Depth Mask shader:
I learned it from a blog post by pixelplacement (the author of iTween). In this post he provided the shader code and a sample project showing the effect. Here's the link to the blog post:
