Mesh.uv during Editor Mode

Greetings,

I have a class that uses a sprite sheet to display animations on a quad. However, if I have more than one object using the same sheet then I need to display with uvs. So this is fine to use mesh.uv. But the problem comes in when I am using the Editor, it throws exceptions because I am using renderer.mesh not renderer.sharedMesh. But I have to use mesh because otherwise the uv’s will change on all of the objects that share the “quad” resource (Asset). Any suggestions, I will be happy just to catch that exception.

I am using the following code:

// Pseudo Code
renderer.mesh.uv = new Vector2[] { stuff here }; // (throws exception during editor mode)
renderer.sharedMesh.uv = new Vector2[] { blah blah }; // Changes all objects

I assume you’re using JavaScript? If I try to access renderer.mesh while using #pragma strict, I get the following compiler error:

BCE0019: 'mesh' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Renderer'.

Perhaps you should try something more like this:

var mesh : Mesh = GetComponent(MeshFilter).mesh;
