VRTK_MaterialPropertyBlockColorSwapHighlighter

extends VRTK_MaterialColorSwapHighlighter

Overview

Swaps the texture colour on the Renderers material for the given highlight colour using property blocks.

    • The GameObject of the Interactable Object to highlight.
    • Any other scene GameObject and then link that GameObject to the Interactable Objects Object Highlighter parameter to denote use of the highlighter.
  • Ensure the Active parameter is checked.
