Copy texture from 1 object to another

Hi guys!

I have this newbie scripting problem I'd like to get helped with.

Here's the situation: I have an object ('A'') with a texture, i want this texture to be assigned on another object ('B') on mouse over (when pointing the cursor at object A).

What I have now is the following. It only changes the texture through pre-assigned texture variables :

Code (csharp):

1. var oldTexture : Texture;
2. var newTexture : Texture;
3. private var mouseOver : boolean = false;
4.  
5. function Update()
6. {
7. if (mouseOver)
8. {
9. renderer.material.mainTexture = newTexture;
10.     }
11. }
12.  
13. //need to add the Assign Texture function here but I don't know how
14. function OnMouseEnter ()
15. {
16. mouseOver = true;
17.     }
18.  
19.  
20. function OnMouseExit ()
21. {
22. mouseOver = false;
23. }

Methors that could be used:
-Copy the texture of objects with a specific tag;
-copy texture from only child objects;
-...

Which one I prefer is the one with the tag. But please feel free to give your own idea about this.

Sketch:
at Start


when mouse over A1 the main objects 'copies' the texture on A1. Same for objects A2, A3, ...



Note that if this problem gets solved I won't just post a short "Solved" comment here, but I'll keep this thread active for questions of other people experiencing the same problems. So by helping me out on this one you could help a dozens more.

Thanks in advance.

 

OK, first what defines your "other" object? you are using predefined textures, but what you want to do is refer to another object and pull it's texture..

renderer.material.mainTexture = otherObject.render.material.mainTexture;

 

Thanks for responding, BigMisterB, I really appreciate it.

Actually i have multiple 'A' objects, so i think this method won't be the best one when copying the texture of multiple objects to one. I've added a small sketch in the first post, maybe that'll explain what I'm looking for. Thanks though!
