How do I get the texture?

by Giuseppe De Francesco · in Torque X 2D · 11/19/2009 (9:27 pm) · 2 replies

Hi all,

let's see if anyone has already found this before to start digging :) I need to get the current texture assigned to my animated sprite. In the code I'm in the component's delegate 
private void _OnFrameChange(int frame)
I see (in debug) that the base texture is available in the Material property but is private so I cannot access to it: any trick to do that?

    This will give you a reference to the Texture2D being used on an animated sprite:

    (myAnimSprite.AnimationData.Material as SimpleMaterial).Texture.Instance as Texture2D

    Hi Duncan,

    thank you very much for the pointer. Actually because my object is light reactive that one won't work, but simply changing it to this:

    (_animatedSprite.AnimationData.Material as LightingMaterial).Texture.Instance as Texture2D

    gets me the base texture :)

    Thanks again ;)
