Duplicated Object components still a reference

[MaximusVulcanus]

I’m using this snippet to duplicate a GameObject:

GameObject newObj = (GameObject) Instantiate(GameObject.Find(name));
newObj.name = "NewThing";
Vector3 newPosition = new Vector3(newObj.transform.position.x - 1.0f, newObj.transform.position.y + 1.2f, newObj.transform.position.z + 2.2f);
newObj.transform.position = newPosition;

The object is created and moved but certain components are still linked together, most importantly, the mainTexture. How can I copy an Object and make sure that each component is also a new copy?

According to the docs, “If the object is a Component or a GameObject then entire game object including all components will be cloned.” This doesn’t seem to be happening…

The material will be different, so you could change the color on that material (depending on shader, will tint your texture). Otherwise, use the Texture2D routines to make a new one, Get pixels from original, Set/Apply to the new one: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Texture2D.Texture2D.html

I was just editing my last comment on the original post, but I’ll drop it down here instead. Since Instantiate should work on any object… I added this:
Texture newTexture = (Texture) Instantiate(renderer.material.mainTexture);
newObj.renderer.material.mainTexture = newTexture;

Worked just fine
