changing Texture on a material of a child object effecting all child game object of that prefab
Hi, i am using Unity 4.1.5 and i am currently working on a game. I have created some child objects of a prefab and when i try to change texture on one child object through script(or in editor) it effects to all child object of that prefab. how do i make change only to thatparticular object.
this.transform.renderer.sharedMaterial.mainTexture=color[carColorChanging.colorPointer];
this is what i have used in script. where color[carColorChanging.colorPointer] is a texture. Note:script is attached to only one child object
sharedMaterial is exactly that - it's the material shared by all gameobjects that use this specific material.
If you want to change only the specific object, use:
transform.renderer.material.mainTexture = color[carColorChanging.colorPointer];
this will create a duplicate of the material and assign it only to this object, leaving all the other objects that use this material unchanged.
Deleted my answer as its essentially the same as this one except 1 $$anonymous$$ute later.
