You need to call updateSelection on the component (or modify the code to do it automatically)

42

but I can activate script with button

Is possible that this script dont work on objects with multimaterials? More than 1 element?

by user 869976161550217286

45

Could be - because multimaterial objects will be more than one object at runtime (three js turns them into multiple objects), a parent which is your original object and for each material one child object. Perhaps the effect is not smart enough the use the child meshes then

46

You can check in the code if the object is of type “Group” and if so add the children

47 

    updateSelection() {
        if (this._outlineEffect) {
            this._outlineEffect.selection.clear();
            for (const obj of this.selection) {
                if(obj.type === "Group") {
                  for(const ch of obj.children) this._outlineEffect.selection.add(ch);
                }
                else
                  this._outlineEffect.selection.add(obj);
            }
        }
    }

something like this should work

48

@miss3 did you figure it out? Does it work with non-multimaterial objects?

49
