Beam Noise module - Noise Speed does not work

You can try changing noise speed on electricity particle effect in Content Example, and see changed value does not affect the effect. Is there some other setting that I need to turn on to manipulate the speed? I would like to make the effect to move slower.

Hey Pinepanda -

The Noise Speed should be working (in 4.3.1) it can be a hard thing to see. Toggle Smooth to True and then adjust the Vector Constants and you will see the Noise Speeds effect more clearly.

Thank You and let me know if you are still experiencing the issue -

I’m not able to get any visible change in particle through any combination of toggling Smooth and adjusting Noise Speed distribution vector constants. I’m on 4.5, are there any known issues?

Hey hyperdr1ve -

Try these Noise settings.

Thank You

Hey Pine Panda, I was wondering the same thing. What you need to do is set excessive values in the Noise Speed (100, 100, 100) and then small values in the Noise Lock Time (0.2). If you use too small Speed values and values such as 1 in Lock Time, that will cause your beam to freeze. I’m not sure if I got it correctly but it has slowed it down for me. Hope this helps!

It would be nice to see an update in Beams and Ribbons in UE4…
