You can’t change an individual material. Instead, copy them all out, update the one you want then write them all back.

    Material[] allMaterials = gameObject.GetComponent.<Renderer>().materials;
    allMaterials[4] = material6;
    gameObject.GetComponent.<Renderer>().materials = allMaterials;

Documentation is here. It says: “If you want to change some materials in it, get the value, change an entry and set materials back.”

ty, ill try
