The material resource you specify in the script property, does it exist?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t the hashes both say: 1eb61acc7a8ca622bedb5bf862ddbf44bfb95727? (Same as linked in first post.)

Did you accidentally update the editor?

dmitriy · September 25, 2019, 4:37pm

Yes of course.

dmitriy · September 25, 2019, 4:37pm

Well, I updated it intentionally. Since the original link was posted five days ago, I thought it was a good idea. Looks like it’s not.

dmitriy · September 25, 2019, 4:47pm

However, original version from link in first post, don’t work either.

Could you tap report this error using “report” button (then we would have stack trace), please? Would be awesome if you can add a repo-case project to this ticket. Thank you for the report.

The feature will be released on Monday on our stable branch. If you updated the editor you might run the risk of getting a version that isn’t compatible with the feature.

Peeeeeerfect!

Sorry, should’ve write it.

Those are missing on the documentation of go.property

britzl:

go.property("hostile", true)

New script property types are:

go.property("jungle", resource.tile_source())
go.property("glow", resource.material())
go.property("alert", resource.font())
go.property("light", resource.texture())
go.property("weapons", resource.atlas())

Thanks! I will make sure this gets updated in the release next week.

I can’t find any documentation on this, it works of course, but there is nothing more than in this thread and what I figured out myself

britzl · June 19, 2020, 5:49am

There’s a section here: https://defold.com/manuals/script-properties/#resource-properties

Pawel · June 19, 2020, 6:38am

Thanks!

It would be awesome to have a possibility to set resource.texture() as the GUI component texture.
I see a lot of places I can use it for more dynamic GUI creation.

For the second time in a day, my atlas resource property is reset to blank. It’s strange. Does anyone have this?

Also it would be nice to output something like ‘the resource was not found’ instead of an error code -10.

Sometimes I have properties reset when working in VSCode. Do you use external editor?

astrochili · February 20, 2021, 8:13pm

Yes, I use VSCode too.

And it looks like this can happen with any property changed, not only resources. I remember that the integers were also reset. This is not so safe .

sergey.lerg · February 20, 2021, 8:11pm

Yeah, somehow VSCode conflicts with Defold, usually when there is a runtime error or some other out of ordinary situation. Most of my code was in Lua modules, so I rarely encountered this issue.

Hi all,

Is it possible to change the value of a resource property other than in go.property()? I am trying to change the texture associated with a model component. The model component is associated with a factory created game object, which ideally would have a script that dynamically changes the model texture based on external information.

According to the documentation, I cannot change the texture associated with a defined resource property using “resource.texture()” in go.set(), so is there any other way or is this simply a feature not implemented within defold?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Regards,

Augustino
