Summary
We’ve encountered an issue similar to the one that this forum post mentions:
Ours is a bit different because it happens with a stationary prop rather than a moving one, but its the same issue nonetheless. Basically we have a Time of Day system that changes the lighting as well as the skydome prop we have. When a Time of day is picked, in verse it sets a new material to the Skydome. Unfortunately, when we are a certain distance from the origin point of the skydome prop, we don’t see the material actually change until we move closer to said origin point.

Steps to Reproduce
-
You can add a sky dome mesh like us, but the issue should still show with a regular mesh
-
Make the skydome/other mesh a creative prop and have at least two different materials, one as the default, and another to set the material as.
-
In verse, use SetMaterial() and have it set to the second material you have. Also have it in a function so you can call it with a button device interact event.
-
Place a button on the map far away from the mesh(or if you’re doing a skydome, just be far off from where the origin point is), connect it to the verse device, launch session and start game.
-
Go to the button and click it, then proceed to move closer to the mesh/skydome origin point.
Expected Result
Skydome/mesh material should change properly, no matter your distance from it.
Observed Result
The material fails to change and stays as it’s original material until you move close enough to the origin point of the prop/skydome prop.
Platform(s)
Windows PC
