Set material on ProBuilder faces
Assign a material to specific faces of a ProBuilderMesh, enabling multi-material meshes where different faces have different materials (e.g., grass on top, dirt on the sides).
Inputs
gameObjectRef— the GameObject hosting theProBuilderMeshcomponent.materialPath— project path to the material asset (e.g.,Assets/Materials/Grass.mat) or a bare material name. Required.faceIndices— explicit array of face indices.faceDirection— semantic alternative (Up,Down,Left,Right,Forward,Back). Exactly one offaceIndices/faceDirectionis required.
Examples
- Set material on the top face:
faceDirection="up". - Set material on specific faces:
faceIndices=[0, 2, 4].
Behavior
The mesh is rebuilt (ToMesh → Refresh), dirty-flagged, and the Editor repaints. The whole call runs on the Unity main thread.
How to Call
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-set-face-material --input '{
"gameObjectRef": "string_value",
"materialPath": "string_value",
"faceIndices": [],
"faceDirection": "string_value"
}'
For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-set-face-material --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-set-face-material --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
Troubleshooting
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
Input
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
gameObjectRef |
string |
Yes | Reference to the GameObject with a ProBuilderMesh component. RQL: GameObjectRef |
materialPath |
string |
Yes | Path to the material asset (e.g., 'Assets/Materials/MyMaterial.mat') or material name. |
faceIndices |
array |
No | Array of face indices to apply the material to. Use this OR faceDirection, not both. Use ProBuilder_GetMeshInfo to get valid face indices. |
faceDirection |
string |
No | Semantic face selection by direction. Use this OR faceIndices, not both. |
