Access materials inside of a Niagara system?

[Jonner94]

Greetings, I’m working on a custom editor tool and I would like to know if there is any way to access the materials being used inside of a Niagara system without them being user properties.

Hello @Jonner94 ,
I’m sharing a post that might help you with accessing materials inside a Niagara system.

In Niagara I have a “Skeletal Mesh Component Renderer” with animation and want to change it’s color, but can only set a Material Override that can’t have User Parameter. Is there any way I can change the color via BP?

And this post as well

Niagara set/change material in BluePrints?

Hey, in 4.24 there is a node called “Set Niagara Variable (Material)” but I can’t figure out what “In Variable Name” is meant to be. I want to use this to set the material of a specific emitter in the system Node reference: Set Niagara Variable (Material) | Unreal Engine Documentation

Hope it helps!

These seems useful but they’re not quite what I’m looking for. Since I’m building an editor utility tool I would like to find a way to do this without any custom setups on the Niagara System, otherwise the tool functionality would be tied to external factors.
