Functions

Function Name Return Type Description Tags
SetProperty(string propertyName, value) None Sets the given property of the material. Client-Only
GetProperty(string propertyName) value Gets the value of a given property. Client-Only
GetPropertyNames() Array<string> Returns an array of all property names on this CustomMaterial. Client-Only
GetBaseMaterialId() string Returns the asset id of the material this CustomMaterial was based on. Client-Only

Class Functions

Class Function Name Return Type Description Tags
CustomMaterial.Find(string assetId) CustomMaterial Returns a CustomMaterial with the given assetId. This function may yield while loading data. Client-Only

Examples

Example using:

GetPropertyNames

This example will print all modifiable properties belonging to the custom material in the first material slot of a cube. For this example to work, a custom material must be in the first material slot of the cube.

local CUBE = script.parent

-- Get the first material slot of the "CUBE"
local FirstMaterialSlot = CUBE:GetMaterialSlots()[1]

-- Get the Custom Material applied to this material slot
local CustomMaterial = FirstMaterialSlot:GetCustomMaterial()

-- Print the names of all modifiable properties belonging to the "CustomMaterial"
for key, value in ipairs(CustomMaterial:GetPropertyNames()) do
    print(value)
end

Example using:

SetProperty

This example will continually rotate a custom material at a rate of 180 degrees per second.

local CUBE = script.parent

-- The amount of time in seconds that has passed
local timePassed = 0

-- Get the first material slot of the "CUBE"
local FirstMaterialSlot = CUBE:GetMaterialSlots()[1]

-- Get the Custom Material applied to this material slot
local CustomMaterial = FirstMaterialSlot:GetCustomMaterial()

-- How many degrees the material will rotate every second
local ROTATION_SPEED = 180

function Tick(deltaTime)
    -- Update the "timePassed" with the "deltaTime" to accurately reflect how many seconds have passed
    -- since this script has started running
    timePassed = timePassed + deltaTime

    -- Determine the current rotation based on how many seconds have passed
    local rotationAngle = timePassed * ROTATION_SPEED

    -- Update the rotation of the custom material with the value from "rotationAngle"
    CustomMaterial:SetProperty("rotate_material", rotationAngle)
end
