how to create a new plane with the same texture as 'Sprite' created from NGUI

[Spacez]

hi, i want to create a new plane (using code) with the same texture as the 'Sprite' widget created using NGUI.
I worked with it for some time and what i can get is a whole atlas texture (i use getcomponent<UISprite>().mainTexture ) but cant get the exact texture i really want in the atlas.

is there any ways to do this ?

Thanks for every help


-------------------------------------

Another question, how can i use the texture in the atlas for my current 'prefab' ( in my prefab i have texture set for the object but i dont know how to replace the texture with the one in the atlas)

thanks

If you need the image tiled: no.

Sprites are just parts of a texture. You could set up a material that draws only that part of a texture, but it will need to be adjusted every time you update the atlas.

Use a UISprite for this. Not sure why you bother creating a plane. A sprite is a plane as well.

So, it's cant be done?
Coz what I want is also the Texture of the sprite only, so I can save to file / post online the texture, from what user done in game...
