Dang.
So you want to assign a material from the material manager to an object face?
You have to get the material from the engine as it is project base.
dim mat as xpMaterial
dim quad as xpQuadObject
engine.GetMaterialByName("materialname", mat)
self.GetObjectByName("quad1", quad)
quad.SetMaterial(0, mat)

Ah, unfortunately the workstation is a Graphite 8.5 4567 build. Otherwise this option would be ideal

For materials you can just type their name into dynamic material directly
so you could just use a text macro?

Hi All,
I was asked how to use a text object to select a material in a quad, and that material needs to exist in the material manager already.
The different syntax for this has stumped me. I can structure a material change with text input for images or videos not already existing in the project but I don't know how to point to a material in the material manager.
Thanks All
