Hi fellow lens-people!

I am making a lens that has text as a facemask. When tapped, the text should change to the next string I have defined in an array of strings.

I have made a Label Material in the ressources panel, and added the material to the facemask object. And it works with the text I manually have written in the material text object (in ressources). But when I try to access the actual text of the material via script, I get an error.

I have tried accessing it by with:

script.overlay.mainPass.baseTex.text

where overlay is:

Component.FaceMaskVisual

I have also tried without .text at the end.

Nothing works - I cannot access the actual text in the material.

Anyone who can help?

Update:

I found the solution!

Needed to use
```
// @input Asset.Material name
```
and then access the actual text property with
```
script.name.mainPass.baseTex.control.text = "someText";
```

Hey Mads, glad you were able to figure this out!

FYI, you could have also created a Label component which can drive a custom Label material. In a new Label component, change the Material field from Default to your own custom Label material.
