All instances of get the same color?

thor_sten

I'm trying to create a procedural generated level. Around each generated room, I want to a create a number of Blocks/Cubes working as walls. This already works. For Debug-Purposes I wanted to give each Wall-Segment a different color, based on it's position around the room. However, in the end, they all look the same.

extends Spatial
...
var segment = preload("res://WallSegment.tscn")
var width = 4.0
var length = 4.0

func _add_segment(x, z, rotate = false):
	var new_segment = segment.instance()
	var meshInstance = new_segment.get_node("MeshInstance")
	var mat=meshInstance.get_surface_material(0)
	mat.albedo_color = Color(float(x/length), 0, float(z/width), 1.0)
	meshInstance.set_surface_material(0,mat)
...

Any Idea what the problem could be?

You need to make both the MeshInstance and material unique if you wish to change parameters individually. You can have Godot do this automatically on each instance by editing the resource in the inspector and checking Local to Scene at the bottom.

@Megalomaniak : I found it and clicked the link but i got no feedback if the confirmation worked. Is it possible to resend that mail?

@Calinou : Thank you very much. Especially about "local to scene". would have never guessed this.

It looks like it’s all good now. If your account is not confirmed, then it will say “Unconfirmed” next to your post count. I do not know if there is a way to resend the confirmation email, but I do not think there is once the account is confirmed.
