How to spawn a model with texture?
Hello people,
I'm working on this project and want to spawn a model with a texture when I press a button. I know how to use buttons and GUI. Just need help with spawning it and getting the texture on it.
Thanks
Ever since Code Sample fails for me;
function OnGUI () {
if (GUI.Button (Rect (5, 80, 100, 30), "Button"))
{ }
}
Put your material and the object you want to spawn in the following variables (in the Inspector window):
var mySpawn: GameObject;
var myMaterial: Material;
Then in your button function above (assuming you are spawning at myPosition and myRotation):
var newObject: GameObject = Instantiate(mySpawn,myPosition,myRotation);
mySpawn.renderer.material = myMaterial;
if you have trouble locating the material on the new object, you can also use GetComponent() or GetComponentInChildren().
You can make the object to spawn a prefab, and just spawn the prefab with the texture/material already on it as well...
Yeah, but I figured he wanted to apply the material at runtime (like a common mesh with a different material for allied or enemy... something like that). Your way is easiest, so long as every instance of that mesh has that one material.
Alright, I did as you said, which took me a lot of effort, but now I get the error that the variable mySpawn hasn't been assigned.
Help?
Drag the object you want to spawn into the mySpawn variable of the script in the Inspector.
