olive delights

just played around with materials on my own. SetTexture is for IMaterial, which is a material object unique to Gmod so that's my bad. all GetMaterial does is return the string path to a material, it doesn't return an IMaterial like i had thought.

the easiest solution seems to be making your own kanye radio material. all this needs is a VMT file in the same folder of your VTF file. VMT is a simple text file that can define a material and give it a texture. the valve wiki has a VMT file page for info, alongside an example you can copy+paste then edit.

the following line worked for me, after getting a material path from the asset browser (asset browser found by holding C):
self:SetMaterial("path/to/kanyeradio")
for some reason, SetMaterial doesn't need you to tell it to look in the materials folder and specify filetype, unlike SetModel. so just feed it the path to the kanyeradio material with ".vmt" and "materials/" removed

nope, it just said I spawned it and nothing else

do you remember if it made an error pop up in the console?

thank you for your time to even write all of this, sadly I tried doing the "self:GetMaterial:SetTexture("$basetexture", "pathtokanyeradio.vtf")" and it unfortunately just made the radio not wanna spawn anymore, I'm not very skilled in coding, modeling or anything like that so I basically have no clue what I'm doing wrong - or even what I'm doing at all... messing with the actual .mdl files seems too complicated for me as blender is literally like black magic to me, plus there's like a bit of files in the models folder which I have absolutely no clue how to open or edit so there's that..

a hacky way of doing it would be to copy the hl2 radio model, name it something else, then give that model the kanye radio texture. then you set the entity model to the duplicate kanye radio on init. it'd be a little bit of unneeded bloat but it'd work.

you've probably tried all this, but idk mentioning some stuff might help just incase.

im gonna have to spam your shit a bit, sorry. 1k limit on replies.

not too involved in modding, only messed with gamemodes a bit. but the standard radio texture is being overridden (most likely) because it has the same name as the hl2 radio texture. so to prevent overriding, you just have to name the kanye radio texture to something else, then give the entity that new kanye radio texture when it initializes.

as for applying the new kanye radio texture; gmod wiki says there's a SetTexture function for Materials (called IMaterial). you could probably do an easy one/two-line texture application in your entity initialization script like self:GetMaterial:SetTexture("$basetexture", "pathtokanyeradio.vtf").
there's also a SetMaterial function but actually creating a material is probably its own dedicated thing.

sadly I know, I tried to fix it but I couldn't :<

this mod overrides the radio texture :/

double tap e on the radio to skip a song, it's randomized so the same song may play in a row

how do i skip one
