Title: Set Global Material
Post by: jess84 on April 18, 2014, 02:53:07 PM

Would a custom action be possible, like Set Game Object but with the following two options;

Set Global Material:

 Variable (dropdown list)
 Material (drag material from assets window)

?

Not 100% sure what you want but from what you described? Try this?

Create a c# script and call it: SetGlobalMaterial

Thanks for that!

I'm testing now.

Firstly though, there's a conflict with an existing Action...

Assets/PlayMaker/Actions/SetMaterial.cs(9,22): error CS0101: The namespace `HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions' already contains a definition for `SetMaterial'

(I've called yours SetGlobalMaterial)

I just renamed that problematic reference, and it's fine now.

The action works perfectly, and is exactly what I was after... thanks so much!!

This is a really useful one for doing A/B visual tests - such a time saver. I'd say this should probably be included in the official actions  :)

One can also use the slightly more advanced "Set FSM Material" already included in the standard actions.
