C# Saving a prefab and the material

Hey guys, I have a script that allows me to change the color of the head and body of my player object by using sliders, everything works well and good except that when I press create, it creates a prefab of said object, however, the material does not save with it, thus the objects are rendered pink.

I have tried

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject.renderer.SharedMaterial.Color = new color(Red, Green,Blue);
2.  

That works with saving the material, however it makes both the head and the body share the same material, which defeats my purpose. Could anyone shed some light, please?


Current Code;

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
5. using UnityEditor;
6. public class CharacterCreation : MonoBehaviour {
7.     float Red = 0.9f;

43.                 pHead.renderer.material.color = partsColor;
44.             }else if(ChosenBodyPart == GameObject.Find("CubeBody")){
45.                 pBody.renderer.material.color = partsColor;

94.         GUI.EndGroup ();
95.     }

97.  
98.     void FocusedBodyPart(string focusedbodypart){
99.         if (focusedbodypart == "CubeHead") {
100.         ChosenBodyPart = GameObject.Find ("CubeHead");
101.  
102.         } else if (focusedbodypart == "CubeBody") {
103.             ChosenBodyPart = GameObject.Find ("CubeBody");
104.         }
105.     }
106. }
107.  

 

I am not sure if this would work but trying won't hurt, so here goes nothing:

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject head;
2. public Color headColor;
3.  
4. void Update()
5. {
6. //here we say that you slide the colors and set one
7. headColor = theColorChosen;
8.  
9. //now we'll define the color to be set at "head" variable
10. head.material.renderer.color = headColor;
11. }

 

I've tried to implement that into my code, but it doesn't make a change, I will update my first post with my code.

 

Sykoo is on the right track but has it backwards

Code (CSharp):

1. head.renderer.material.color

 

Hey, Thanks for the reply, I have implemented that in the Update function, and it still doesn't save the material, the prefab is still saved pink.

 

Oops, I'm sorry ^^ Thank you for correcting me This always has been a confusion for me

 

Try saving the new color as a new texture instead then, as pink means "no texture found".
