Summary When I try to reference a ?texture type with an editable attribute from Verse, a white image is displayed. code: ```using { /Fortnite.com/Devices } using { /Fortnite.com/UI } using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/UI } using { /UnrealEngine.com/Temporary/SpatialMath } using { /Verse.org/Simulation } using { /Verse.org/Assets } ui_button_texture := class(creative_device): @editable DisplayButton : button_device = button_device{} # Define the texture asset exposed to Verse @editable …

Mine is a material and is directly added via asset reflection and not editable.

I found that if you create a stack_box and have at least 1 other element in it with your material_block then it will show consistently if you don’t call SetImage on it. If you draw it straight to the screen it will not work.

Calling SetImage at any point in time can cause the white block, To work around this I save materials I need to update later and perform my updates to that material vs recreating it. This works however if you are in a scenario where you must change to a different material then you are still stuck.
