Tips

A working knowledge of Fullmoon Lua scripting plugin is assumed.
Be careful of possible word wrap on code samples.

Texture

function Sample:init()
   self.mytexture=""    -- initialize 'mytexture' as an empty string
end

function Sample:load(stream)
   self.mytexture=stream:readString()
end

function Sample:save(stream)
   stream:writeString(self.mytexture)
end

function Sample:getDialog(dialog)
   self.mytextureID=dialog:addTexture(self.mytexture)
end

function Sample:valueChanged(id,value)
   if id==self.mytextureID then       -- if the texture name has changed
      self.mytexture=value            -- save it
   end
   scene:invalidate()                 -- tell Moray the scene needs saving
> end

function Sample:toPOV(pov)
   if self.mytexture ~= "" then  -- if mytexture is 'not equal' to an empty string
      pov:texture(gsub(self.mytexture,"%s","%_")) -- replace any space (%s) with underline (%_) in the texture name
   end
end

or if you want to use something other than a material statement.

      pov:write("normal {"..gsub(self.mytexture,"%s","%_").."}"
In this example the user of the plugin will have to make sure they select entries from the Material Editor which contain only a "normal" statement. These can be made with the 'Direct Code' option in the Material Editor.
