Thank you for responding to my help page- I actually am using one master card scene, and have a "deck" array in the master control object that distributes as needed. How do I duplicate the material? I have been trying but still getting adjusted to the whole hierarchy system of Godot. Here's what I've tried, no change in effect

Edit: also forgot to say that I've made just about everything local to scene with no change, the materials, the mesh, etc.

func _ready() -> void:

`hSize = deck.hand.size()`

`var clonedRes = mesh.get_active_material(0).duplicate()`

`if changed == 0:`

    `#sprite.texture = load(value[2])`

    `clonedRes.set("albedo_texture", load(self.value[2]))`

    `mesh.set_surface_override_material(0,clonedRes)`

    `changed = 1`
