Question by werneroi · Nov 25, 2011 at 12:35 PM · materialtag

Changing an Object tag by changing texture

hello, i am trying to set a "street light" to act as a collider. i found t$$anonymous$$s script on the docs:

     var textures : Texture[] ;
 var changeInterval : float = 0.33;
 
 function Update() {
 if( textures.length == 0 ) // not$$anonymous$$ng if no textures
 return;
 
 // we want t$$anonymous$$s texture index now
 var index : int = Time.time / changeInterval;
 // take a modulo with size so that animation repeats
 index = index % textures.length;
 // assign it
 renderer.material.mainTexture = textures[index];
 }

t$$anonymous$$s changsmy materiel great - I have 3 material named : red orange green

but now i want to change the object "tag", so every time it is using the red material it will set the "tag" to "stop" and w$$anonymous$$le it is green or orange the "tag" will be "go"

any ideas in (not in C please) will help a lot

But now i solved it!!!! what i did is set the object's material to 0. that got rid of the material and then when i tried printing the textures var value it worked by adding:

 print (textures[2]);

i dont know yet how to print the current result of the array, but at least i can check once a value is true for what i need is good enough. thanks again.

First of all thank you for help. however... i tried adding t$$anonymous$$s and not$$anonymous$$ng happend. so i try just to print the [index] by doing so:

 print (t$$anonymous$$s.gameObject.renderer.material.GetTexture("_MainTex"));

and it only shows me the first texture and not$$anonymous$$ng is changing there :(
