I'm instantiating a gameObject from prefab, and I want to set local scale using code, but when I'm setting transform.localScale to the gameObject then it loses material and becomes black.

public GameObject ballObject;    

 public GameObject GetBall(Ball ball)
     {
         GameObject gameObject = Instantiate(ballObject, ball.position, Quaternion.identity);
         gameObject.transform.localScale = ball.scale; // actually, this line destroys the material
         gameObject.tag = Constants.ballTag;

         return gameObject;
     }

  • Odd. are you sure its not just because the nose in the middle is black, so it comes black too? – BugFinder Mar 24 '19 at 14:42
  • when you say it loses its material is it actually showing as gone in the inspector?, also is this a model you have imported? if so check the normals on it as the when setting the scale it might be inverting them – akaBase Mar 24 '19 at 18:33
  • Thanks akaBase, that was model issue, I was setting Vector2 instead of Vector3. – Karen Minasyan Mar 25 '19 at 06:45
  • can you please check the value of the scale in ```Debug.Log()``` and make sure that no axis is set to zero in scakl value. – Ghost The Punisher Jan 27 '20 at 07:49

It looks like 'ball.scale' may have a value of zero in one axis, which is flattening the object, which can mess with the appearance in this way.

Check what the scale values are for the incoming object.
