restore albedo_color while deselecting an object

[lightmap]

Hello

Scene has a lot of objects with different albedo_color - that set in material

As in mouse_pick example I set albedo_color as Red - also I need store previous value,
 

vec4 original_color = Object.getMaterialParameter("albedo_color", 0);
Object.setMaterialParameter("albedo_color", vec4(1,0,0,0), 0);//Red as selected

I found there are only one more vec4 value - emission_color, but storing albedo_color  in there changes color of object while render

so

1. is Object material has any unused vec4 value? where I can store albedo_color for free

2. or how to change selected object color, without using albedo_color?

 

creating additional array in code to store albedo_color not an option!

Hi, if you can't store your colors via code, maybe auxiliary_color can help you to store your color inside the material. Be carefull as it is used in some post shaders.

Hope this helps you, regards
