Assign Material by script: Javascript?

Questions & Answers
1

I need some help in assigning material by script.

The situation is like this: I have a script attached to the camera which creates a GUI.button. The GUI.button will attach a script to the camera when the user clicks on it. The user will then be able to draw on the screen.

Here comes the problem. I have a variable for the material in the script. However, as I am only activating the script when the game is running, I am unable to assign the material through the inspector.

Is there any way to assign the Material through script?

EDIT: Solved by using Resource.Load method.

You could make your script run in the editor (via ExecuteInEditMode).

Or you could apply the material in the function OnDrawGizmosSelected, which is regularly called when you have the object selected in the editor.
