Beam Texture not changing with beam.Texture

I’m trying to create a custom beam atm and everything is working besides changing the beams texture, I’ve tried making a stationary beam that isnt spawned in on an instance and that beam works with this texture. But when I call to change it in a script nothing happens and the beam stays as the default beam and just changes color.

beam script

		local beam = Instance.new("Beam")
		beam.Name = "EnergyBeam"
		local atch1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
		atch1.Parent = hit
		atch1.WorldPosition = rayHitPos
		beam.Attachment0 = caster.UserData[1]
		beam.Attachment1 = atch1
		beam.Color = ColorSequence.new({
			ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(0, Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)),
			ColorSequenceKeypoint.new(1, Color3.fromRGB(0, 255, 255))
		}
		)
		beam.CurveSize0 = math.random(0,10)
		beam.CurveSize1 = math.random(0,10)
		beam.Texture = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=1244883807"
		print(beam.Texture)
		beam.TextureMode = Enum.TextureMode.Wrap
		beam.FaceCamera = true 
		beam.Parent = workspace
		beam.Enabled = true
		Debris:AddItem(beam, 0.5)

are you using the image Id or decal Id?

I’m using the decal id I believe, I got it off the catalog and just copy pasted the id from the search bar

yeah for some reason, image Id and decal Id are different. If you paste the decal Id into a decal or any kind of texture, it’ll convert the link to a image Id. When it does, replace the Id in your script with that, and it should work
