how do I edit a component of a specific child of an instantiated object?
I'm trying to instantiate a new GameObject from a prefab and change the material of a child GameObject. I found several answered Questions here, but the answers do not seem to work for me, so please help me out. :(
GameObject newCharacter = Instantiate(character, spawnPosition, spawnRotation) as GameObject;
The child GameObject is called "Body". My target is to either swap the associated matierial with another one or change some details of it, like the albedo color.
note, that I will instantiate multiple characters over time, so there will be more than one object in the scene called "Body".
So your prefab is instantiating a gameobject whose child will be body?
Best Answer
MeshRenderer bodyRenderer = newCharacter.transform.Find("Body").GetComponent[MeshRenderer]();
GameObject m_Object = gameObject.transform.FindChild("child").gameObject;
Transform m_Transform = m_Object.GetComponent<Transform>();
