How to access object inputs in material?

[Monkeybrother]

Hi. In my HDA I have a material network with a couple of materials (material builder). Inside those materials I have distance nodes and in my HDA I have inputs that I would like to use in the "Objects" field inside the Distance nodes. How can I do that? I can find them when I type "../../../input" etc, so I know I'm pointing to the correct nodes, but nothing happens when I render.

Sorry, I missed your answer. I solved it by dragging the texture input field to the HDA interface, which means I didn't need to access it via inputs.
