Changing extruded renderer's material runtime - aderae - 10-12-2024
Hello,
I have a logic where I need to change the ropes material during runtime. I tried setting obiRopeExtrudedRenderer.material = new Material(copyFrom); it looks like the material is changed in the component itself but it doesn't effect the renderer. I assume this is cached on start. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, you just need to flag the renderer dirty after changing the material:
Code:
((ObiActorRenderer<ObiRopeExtrudedRenderer)renderer).SetRendererDirty(Oni.RenderingSystemType.AllSmoothedRopes);This will refresh the material and trigger a re-batching of all ropes to minimize the amount of batches next time the rope is rendered. Note this is a somewhat expensive operation.
kind regards,

Thank you! I am amazed how robust you guys made this API as always
