Problem
I was trying to apply a Texture to a TrussPart and it’s not working. I know the image is valid because the decal can be used as a MaterialVariant and it works.
The API documentation for the truss part and the texture do not state that it cannot be used like this. In fact, the documentation for the texture instance states that it will apply the image to the BasePart it’s parented to. I checked the documentation and TrussPart is a descendant of BasePart so that shouldn’t be an issue.
EDIT:
On a hunch, I tried a Decal but that didn’t work either. Like Texture, the documentation for Decal also says that it can be applied to a BasePart. I wish to reiterate the fact that none of the documentation mentions that Decal or Texture cannot be used with TrussPart.
