Trying it again directly in the script editor, this line actually does
work, just not in the context of the plugin for some reason:
oDef.InputParamDefs.GetParamDefByName("reflectivity").DefaultValue = 0.3
Either way, it's working now, but I can't figure out how to change a color
value such as the diffuse color and possibly other more complex properties.
I really can't find any reference to these objects in the SDK. The only
thing that works is assigning single numbers, how do you assign a color to
"DefaultValue"?
Sorry if this is obvious ;)
