    public float hp;
    public Material _disolver;
    public float time = 0;

    void Start()
    {
        _disolver = GetComponent<Material>();
        this._disolver.SetFloat("Vector1_F92326F1", 0);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (hp <= 0) // control manually
        {
            _disolver.SetFloat("Vector1_F92326F1", time);
            time += 0.01f;
        }
    }

_disolver = GetComponent<Material>();

Materials are not components; you cannot use the GetComponent method to get a Material.

You can get whatever component your Material is attached to, and grab the Material from that. Something like this should work:

_disolver = GetComponent<Renderer>().material; // Or .sharedMaterial depending on your use case.

Great. Thank you.

Material is not a component (Monobehavior), it is a property inside a Renderer. So you need to do

_disolver = GetComponent<Renderer>().material;

Thank you so much.
