Setting an object to a preset by code

Hi everyone,
I am trying to set a gameobject to a BuildBuy preset, but I can't figure out how it is done.
I can't really imagine there is no way, somehow the game loads the presets when in build buy and applies them when clicking, right?
From what I can understand the presets are in the OBJD under Materials numbered from Materials[0] to Materials[7], they have to get loaded into the game as something.
If anyone can share any insights into this and if it just explaining how presets are build from an objects creators perspective so I can better understand I would be so happy.
Thank you and have a nice day
Snow

Hey!

Zoe and I at sopme point went through this as well

it's really not an easy one to figure out, but the sleeping bag does have a way to "select" presets in code (Assuming you mean like the pre-made colour items)

bascially, it's something like so:

Code:

				SortedList<string, bool> sortedList = new SortedList<string, bool>();
				SortedList<string, Complate> originalPatterns = Complate.ExtractPatterns(base.Target.ObjectId, sortedList);
				SleepingBag sleepingBag = base.Target as SleepingBag;
				if (sleepingBag != null)
				{
					sleepingBag.SetComplates(sortedList, originalPatterns);
				}

// then just add this to your project:

public void SetComplates(SortedList<string, bool> originalStencils, SortedList<string, Complate> originalPatterns)
	{
		bool flag = true;
		ResourceKey resourceKey = base.GetResourceKey();
		ContentSourceType contentSource = DownloadContent.GetContentSource(resourceKey);
		if (contentSource == ContentSourceType.kContentType_Download)
		{
			string presetString = UserToolUtils.GetPresetString(resourceKey);
			ObjectDesigner.SetPresetInfo(base.ObjectId, presetString);
			flag = false;
		}
		if (flag)
		{
			ObjectDesigner.ClearObjectDesignPreset(base.ObjectId);
		}
		DesignModeSwap designModeSwap = Complate.SetupDesignSwap(base.ObjectId, originalPatterns, false, originalStencils);
		if (designModeSwap != null)
		{
			designModeSwap.ApplyToObject();
		}
	}

I'm not 100% sure how it works, but this should give you a base to work with though
