Description

when trying to replace a Material Function instance, with another instance, as the base color of a material within the Material Graph, the editor crashes with the following error:

Assertion failed: TextureReferenceIndex != INDEX_NONE [File:D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\Materials\HLSLMaterialTranslator.cpp] [Line: 6654] Material expression called Compiler->TextureParameter() without implementing UMaterialExpression::GetReferencedTexture properly
Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create Blank Blueprint project with starter content
  2. Create a material called M_Mat
    • Right click in Content Browser>material
  3. Create a material function called MF_Func
    • Right click in Content Browser>Materials>Material Function
  4. Open MF_Func
  5. add a TextureSampleParameter2D to graph
  6. add MakeMaterialAttributes to graph
  7. Connect the TextureSampleParameter2D RGB to the MakeMaterialAttributes BaseColor
  8. Connect the MakeMaterialAttributes output into the OutputResult node
  9. Save MF_Func and close
  10. Create an instance of MF_Func called MF_Func_Inst
    • Right click MF_Func>Create Function Instance
  11. Open MF_Func_Inst
  12. In Details Check the Param Checkbox and select T_Brick_Clay_Beveled_D for the texture
  13. Apply, Save & close MF_Func_Inst
  14. Create a second instance of MF_Func called MF_Func_Inst1
  15. # Open MF_Func_Inst1
  16. In Details Check the Param Checkbox and select T_Brick_Clay_New_D for the texture
  17. Apply, Save & close MF_Func_Inst1
  18. Open M_Mat
  19. Drag and drop MF_Func_Inst into the M_Mat graph
  20. add BreakMaterialAttributes to graph
  21. Connect MF_Func_Inst to the BreakMaterialAttributes Attr
  22. Connect that BreakMaterialAttributes BaseColor to the M_Mat BaseColor
  23. Drag and drop MF_Func_Inst1 into the M_Mat graph
  24. add BreakMaterialAttributes to graph
  25. Connect MF_Func_Inst1 to the new BreakMaterialAttributes Attr
  26. Connect that BreakMaterialAttributes BaseColor to the M_Mat BaseColor

*Expected Result: *The M_Mat Base Color will be disconnected from MF_Func_Inst BreakMaterialAttributes and now be connected to MF_Func_Inst1 BreakMaterialAttributes

Actual Result: The M_Mat BaseColor is disconnected from MF_Func_Inst and then crashes while trying to connect to MF_Func_Ins1 with following error:
