get material?

[kinetiknz]

Hello. I am trying to make an FSM that highlights an object when moused over, then cycles through materials when left clicked, ive got the highlighting done and the material change, but I need to return to the original material when the mouse moves off the object. I can't seem to find a way of getting the parent objects material to store in a variable.

Any hints?

I am not 100% sure nor have i tried but could you not just use Get Parent and store that game object into a variable and then use Get Material using that stored game object and then store that in a variable then set the material?

Sounds like a good solution Q, the one problem is 1.1 doesn't have the Material variable type, and no Get Material action

But it looks like 1.2 has it:

Thanks fellas, I assumed that Playmaker had every function that Unity can do mapped to it's actions! Anyway, 1.2 looks like it can do it - turnkey and for now I guess I can figure out how to combine Playmaker with traditional scripting to get material. I wonder how hard it is to combine and pass variables between script/FSM
