Changing the materials in Editor Mode Without Getting the leak Error
is there is any way to change the materials by code at editor time without countering this error
Instantiating material due to calling renderer.material during edit mode. This will leak materials into the scene. You most likely want to use renderer.sharedMaterial instead
in most cases i generate temp material this way
Material m = new Material(Shader.Find(SHADER_NAME));
or
renderer.material = new Material(Shader.Find(SHADER_NAME));
going to answer my own question , so it might help if any one else has the same issue
just use the sharedMaterial instead
and for case of array of materials for single object define a new array of materials make changes to it then assign it as objects shared materals
Material[] faceMaterials = new
> Material[4];
> faceMaterials[0] = matSetup( Color.white, faceTexture,
> facialTexture);
>
> faceMaterials[0].name = "Face";
> faceMaterials[1] = matSetup(Color.white ,eyeTexture);
>
> faceMaterials[1].name = "Eyes";
>
> faceMaterials[2] = matSetup(Color.white ,null);
> faceMaterials[2].name = "Teeth";
> faceMaterials[3] = matSetup(new Color(0.933f , 0.731f ,
> 0.731f , 1) ,null);
> faceMaterials[3].name = "Toungh";
> Facetransform.renderer.sharedMaterials = faceMaterials;
-----------------------
Material matSetup(Color col , Texture tex)
{
Material mat = new Material(Shader.Find("Diffuse"));
mat.SetColor("_Color",col);
mat.SetTexture("_MainTex",Resources.Load(tex) as Texture);
return mat;
}
This worked brilliantly!
I was struggling to find a solution to this that actually fit my problem; but swapping out the array worked a treat.
Thank you for posting your solution! I was having a similar problem. Assigning a new array to sharedMaterials instead of altering the existing one solved my problem :)
