Arrow Component Color Opactiy doesn't do anything

Hi everyone.

The Arrow Component has a color attribute. Unfortunately for me the opacity value has no effect whatsoever. Does anybody have an idea why that is? Is this a bug maybe? I would really like to being able to change the opacity so that the arrow is slightly translucent in game…
If I set the opacity via the SetArrowColor node in a blueprint nothing happens as well…

It’s because the arrow material doesn’t use that pin.

You can easily make your own arrow material that is translucent :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for you quick response!

Could you tell me how exactly do I change the arrow material?
My arrow components do not have any slot or section for materials in the details panel…

I stand corrected! :slight_smile:

I assumed the arrow was an engine mesh. You’ll need to make your own arrow mesh if you want it to be translucent :slight_smile:

A quick workaround is: Search content > Arrow in Engine content. There is a mesh for you. :slightly_smiling_face:
