Random Texture with Inspector Override

Question

Hello CE Community,

I'm looking for a way to override randomized textures. It would be nice to have the ability to change the textures with a drop-down menu in the inspector.

Thanks.

Yes, that is correct.  The @File annotation allows you to open a file chooser.

I think you are trying to activate browse tool. I use the texture folder wildcard method: attr wall_tex = getWallTexture getWallTexture = listRandom(_getWallTexture) _getWallTexture = fileSearch("/FolderDestination*" + "*.*") ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Then over in the inspector you should be able to access the "browse" to override your texture: I also think you can activate the browse by simply adding the "@File" before your attribute rule (?).

Just use a stochastic rule in your attribute. This will randomize on seed generation and then give you the ability to change it. Something like the code below should work. @Enum("texA.jpg","texA.jpg","texC.jpg","texD.jpg") attr Texture = 25%: "texA.jpg" 25%: "texB.jpg" 25%: "texC.jpg" else: "texD.jpg"‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
