GetMaterial Returns Null

[gamecreator]

Does anyone have any idea why GetMaterial could return null on a textured model which has 0 children?

 

tempmat = level[j][i].model->GetMaterial();
if(tempmat==NULL) printf("null\n");
else printf("not null\n");

 

I confirmed in the editor that Surface 0: blue.mat.

Try : model->GetSurface(0)->GetMaterial()

Ah, I now remember seeing this before. Thanks shadmar!

 

We need GetMaterial fix or documentation correction.

Yes, it appears that Entity:GetMaterial() only works if the material has been set via code with Entity:SetMaterial(). If not set via code, then Model:GetSurface(index):GetMaterial() has to be used.
