Set Value does not work when the material is passed into a Procedure

Hi d3pixel!

Unfortunately, I had the same issue with the replace_texture puzzle. You can actually set the material as a variable, but if you do, you cannot refer to a texture name present in that material. Here is my thread: https://www.soft8soft.com/topic/replace-texture-puzzle-with-dynamic-texture-name-not-texture-file-name/

Temporarily, we’re modifying the corresponding visual_logic.js function (after generating it when saving in the app manager), to accept a parameter for the texture name. Maybe you can do the same with the value name? Our function goes like this, and it works:

function change_texture(param0, param1, param2) {
replaceTexture(param0, param1, param2, function() {});
}
appInstance.ExternalInterface[“change_texture”] = change_texture;

Yuri, will this functionality change be implemented anytime soon? I guess it has to be on both replace_texture and set_value now :)

Thank you!

Made it a high priority task!

I just wanted to close the loop here and thank the Verge3D team. I revisited my older Verge3D project that was having issues with the replace texture puzzle. As is noted in this thread, the replace texture puzzle was too rigid. I needed the puzzle to accept variables and strings for texture names (see our reasoning above). I updated this project to 2.14.0 and, now, this puzzle will take strings and variables! You need to click on the gear icon of this puzzle piece to enable “flexible texture input”. In about two minutes, I had all of the problems resolved and this project was running as I intended. Thanks again.
