When lerping, can't change offset

Unity Engine

Hi,

Currently I’m making something which includes multiple materials. I wanted to make a scrolling effect so I changed the offset of the material Main Texture to make it happen. This works fine and well. But the moment it’s lerping to another texture it stoppes moving. I used the debugger of Visual studio to check what happens and it seems like the Y-coordinate isn’t affected while lerping.

My scrolling background code:

    private void ScrollBackground() {
        Vector2 offset = _quadRenderer.material.mainTextureOffset;

        offset.y += Time.deltaTime * 0.02f;

        _quadRenderer.material.mainTextureOffset = offset;
    }

For lerping I used the code which can be found on the Unity Docs:

float lerp = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time, duration) / duration;
rend.material.Lerp(material1, material2, lerp);

My guess is that because of lerping between two materials there is not really a main material present. So my question is: how can I move the material to create a scrolling effect while lerping at the same time?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Josh

Oh snap, I thought I was in the scripting… I have too many tabs open. Thanks!
