getMaterialByName not working.

I’m trying to do it where WHATEVER the material from the object is named.. it can still dynamically get it from the object.. whatever object.

here is what i have..
(the cubes’s material name is “metal”.)

and here is my console readout…

material: visual_logic.js:477:13
metal visual_logic.js:478:13
mesh before script: visual_logic.js:480:13
Cube visual_logic.js:481:13
meshName:  Cube visual_logic.js line 507 > Function:4:9
mesh after script: visual_logic.js:513:13
Object { uuid: "7E17F35D-5682-401F-9A60-BF011A861DB7", name: "Cube", type: "Mesh", parent: {…}, children: [], up: {…}, position: {…}, rotation: {…}, quaternion: {…}, scale: {…}, … }
visual_logic.js:514:13
material before script: visual_logic.js:516:13
metal visual_logic.js:517:13
materialName:  metal visual_logic.js line 519 > Function:4:9
material after script: visual_logic.js:526:13
null

this is being done because in the clipping planes script, you have to change a lot about the materials, and i like keeping materials that i’ve made in blender that have a lot of unique nodes etc. (this example is simple metal)

is this problem happening because i’m asking it about a variable value which is just a text name? how can i extract the material (whatever material) should i skip the get material puzzle and combine that’s code with the script code?

thanks!

O gosh.
Silly me.
Thanks Ivan
