Change name of Dynamic Material Instance and Parameters?

Hi, I was learning how to do dynamic material instances in blueprints, and I couldn’t help but notice that the names are identical, and the descriptions are too alien sounding to be helpful to the inexperienced.

Dynamic Material Instance is defaulting the wrong ones, and you must uncheck “conext sensitive” to find the correct one. Also there are multiples of these:

Dynamic Material Instance
Set Scalar Parameter
Set Vector Parameter

All of these have identical names, with very unhelpful descriptions, and they default to parameter collections, which is very unhelpful for the inexperienced.

Here is a video:

Thanks, :slight_smile:

Hey -

I have entered that request to our engineers to look into clarifying those node names in Blueprints.

Thank You for your report.
