How to create a GUI button to change a character's texture in real-time?
Hi, I'm trying to have a button on my screen that will change the texture of my character if the user presses that button. the material with the texture i want to swap is on my gameObject called "joint1".
I don't really know what I'm doing... artist trying to do whatever sounds basic in a game-engine...
This is my code at the moment:
var material1 : Material;
function Update () {
for (GUI.Button(Rect(Screen.width - 74,148,64,64)))
{
GameObject.Find("joint1").renderer.sharedMaterial = material1;
}
}
I decided to make it a toggle with an icon ins$$anonymous$$d... now if I could just work out how to get rid of that stupid... toggle dot...
Here's the script I came up with eventually. I didn't know how to swap the textures so... MAJOR THANK YOU!!! I will get to doing it that way tomorrow to save on materials.
I decided to go with a toggle instead of a button.
=============================================================
// Make the script also execute in edit mode @script ExecuteInEditMode()
var matIcon : Texture2D;
var material1 : Material;
var material2 : Material;
var recPosX = 1;
var recPosY = 1;
var toggleBool = true;
function OnGUI () {
var toggleBoolNew = GUI.Toggle (Rect ( recPosX , recPosY , 100, 64), toggleBool, GUIContent (matIcon, "Toggle"));
// Check if the toggle was toggled
if (toggleBoolNew != toggleBool) {
if (toggleBoolNew == true)
GameObject.Find("joint1").renderer.sharedMaterial = material1;
else
GameObject.Find("joint1").renderer.sharedMaterial = material2;
toggleBool = toggleBoolNew;
}
}
Glad I could help, please mark it as answered if your satisfied with the answer .. thanks.
Try this ..
#pragma strict
var myTexture : Texture2D;
private var go : GameObject;
function Start(){
go = GameObject.Find("joint1");
}
function Update () {
if (GUI.Button (Rect (20,40,80,20), "Texture")) {
go.renderer.material.mainTexture = myTexture;
}
}
hey dude, thanks for reply. I managed to find a way to do it by swapping the material, so your way is different again swapping the texture... that's more what I was after, I will probably use your "go.renderer.material.mainTexture = myTexture;" sometime tomorrow, saves on using lots of different materials.
I need to sleep now, here's the code I came up with... i'll put it as an answer...
