Error when using `Text` with three@0.175.0

[Methuselah96]

Creating a Text throws an error with three r175:

Yup, they added the exact same attributes to Object3D class for shadows : https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/b3cb0cd0d6066f7054a76b90904486e40031c2ce/src/core/Object3D.js#L354, which they initialize to undefined in the constructor.

Work around it to just add a set for customDepthMaterial and customDistanceMaterial that just do nothing.

I can confirm this is the problem and @olivierchatry solution should work.

Could you explain the workaround? Is something I could apply or is something internal to troika-three-text? For now I simply returned to Three 0.174.0 to solve the problem, but I would like not do this.
Thanks!

It has to be implemented in troika-three-text, it's just a matter of adding a setter for customDepthMaterial to the Text class.
There is only a getter right now and as the Text class extends Object3D that's the reason we get the error.
Hopefully the owner of the repo will see it soon and make a release so we can all upgrade to three 0.175.0 :)

I think it would be better to rename the attributes, adding troika in front of all the attributes. I created a branch on my fork, but did not have time to test.

Cause was this PR which was supposedly just a documentation PR but added initializers to undefined in the constructor. These are not new attributes, and the naming is significant.

I'm adding empty setters as a quick fix, though in the future we should probably allow custom values to override the auto-generated ones.
