Title: Exposing Material and Shader Controls on the UITexture Class
Post by: ChrisR on July 11, 2013, 09:09:34 AM

Hey all,

Wondering if it's possible to expose the material controls in the animation window when you're creating an animation for a UITexture gameobject? Reason for this is that we want to make a combined prefab with a UITexture object and Particle object, and we'd like to keep as much inside NGUI as possible.

(The UITexture is setup by assigning a material to it's material slot, so it's not generating a dynamic material right now.)

Thanks very much for any help!

Regards,

Chris

I suggest you write an intermediate script for that with a public variable (public Texture tex; for example), and animate that. In that script's update function, simply set the UITexture's mainTexture every Update if it changes.

Hey Aaron,

Thanks for that! Will get one of our coders to write it like you suggested.
