Permanent changes to assets from play mode?

I bought an asset pack and for some reason after I run the demo scene in play mode everything turns white. If I close the project and open again it’s still white. Is this supposed to be possible? I’m wondering if perhaps some scripts are modifying materials runtime?

Have you contacted the developer of the asset? Probably the best source of information on the package.

Yes I have - but I was just wondering if this was even possible. I’ve since found out that it is.

Yep.

For scripts that I write for the projects I work on, anything that modifies an asset directly I try to write special case editor code for to instantiate or otherwise duplicate the asset to a game object while in play mode. Sadly it’s not always possible, and most people don’t do this (including other people I work with…), but it’s a good habit to have, especially for aspiring asset devs.
