Unity 5.0b9 SharedMaterials

I am developing a camouflage system and I change sharedmaterials in a c# script, but the renderer don't use the new material.

This is my source code:

Code (CSharp):

1. meshRenderer.sharedMaterials[i].color = Color.red; // OK, it changes the color
2. meshRenderer.sharedMaterials[i] = myNewMaterial; //FAIL

Sharedmaterials changed in Unity 5 or it's a new bug?

 

I'm not sure, but shouldn't you assing meshRenderer.materials? Since sharedMaterials is a copy anyway.
From the docs:
"Note that like all arrays returned by Unity, this returns a copy of materials array. If you want to change some materials in it, get the value, change an entry and set materials back."

So, use:

Code (csharp):

1. Material[] mats=meshRenderer.sharedMaterials;
2. mats[i]=myNewMaterial;
3. meshRenderer.sharedMaterials=mats;

 

It works fine, thx!
