Hey gang, Blueprint newb here.
I have external data (.csv) i need to import and use to drive a series of particle effects. My test is a couple hundred lines with values of 1, 2, or 3. The idea is that if 1 then fire a single particle from 'Emitter_Red', if 2, then fire Emitter_Green etc.
Basically i want to trigger a single event that then reads through the entire .csv and fires off the couple hundred particles (from 3 emitters) driven by the external data. So 1,1,1,2,3,1,1 would trigger red, red, red, green, blue ,red,red. I'm making unique particle systems for each (as opposed to driving some value inside a single particle system).
I'm using Data Tables based on this basic tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMy6H1o1zO0 but not sure thats the right approach. Both high-level and detail / specific suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
