How to instantiate the same object with different textures?

I want to be able to instantiate an object multiple times but with different textures. Currently, I have a script that has a GameObject variable and a gameobject is attached to said variable. In the script, I also have an array of different textures I would like to apply to said gameobject. This is what I'm currently using in C#:

Code (CSharp):

1. if(x == 1)
2. {
3.      ChangingObject.renderer.material.mainTexture = TextureArray[0];
4. }
5. if(x == 2)
6. {
7.      ChangingObject.renderer.material.mainTexture = TextureArray[1];
8. }
9.  
10. // Line of code to instantiate gameobject goes here ______________
11.  

Can anyone point me in the right direction or point out what I (most likely) did wrong?

 

Try changing the material after the gameobject is instantiated.... see if that helps

 

It did nothing except cause the first object that was instantiated to have no texture.

Edit: I did this by taking the line of code that instantiated the object and moving it above the if statements.

 

when you instantiate a object, it will return reference to that object for you, which you can use to access the renderer component and set a new material.a

Code (CSharp):

1.                 GameObject myObj = (GameObject)Instantiate(myPrefab);
2.                 myObj.renderer.material = myNewMat;
3.  

 

It worked, thanks!
