assigning a texture to a GameObject

Questions & Answers
1

Seemingly simple question…

In my c# code I do:

public GameObject Sphere_meshGO;

public Texture sphereTex;

GOmesh = (GameObject) Instantiate (Sphere_meshGO, new Vector3 (0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);

How do I assign sphereTex texture to the GOmesh object I just created?
I read that its dhould be:

GOmesh.renderer.material.mainTexture = sphereTex;

But this won’t compile (.renderer does not resolve).

What’s the code to assign a texture to GOmesh?

Use GetComponent< Renderer >(). There are no component accessor shortcuts anymore, except for Transform (since the Transform component always exists).
