Possible: GetMaterial() returns NULL when material assigned in Editor

[Ruki]

I *might* not be using this correctly, but if you call GetMaterial() on an entity/model loaded in C++ which has a material assigned to it in the LWEditor, it returns NULL, even though you can see ingame that the model has a material being rendered on it.

 

If you call SetMaterial() and load a material into it, GetMaterial() will return the correct Material.

 

 

Just to clarify, this only fails if you set the material in the LWeditor. Is this the intended use?

What kind of object is this, a brush or model?

A "Model". I did a test snippet and I'm 90% sure it's bugged, unless I'm doing something wrong. I tested it using the default Barrel Model, which definitely does have a material in the LW editor.

 

Model *testModel = Model::Load( "Models/Barrel/barrel.mdl" );
if ( testModel->GetMaterial() )
	myMain->flag( "Barrel has material!" );
else
	myMain->flag( "Barrel has NO material.." );

 

Output says that the barrel has no material, but it shows up ingame as having the blue/yellow material on it
