Changes to Custom Water Plugin Material in one Project changes ALL Projects.

[hevsbee (Hetty)]

This is my first ever post to a forum so my apologies if I am in the wrong place.

I created a level in a project where I used the water plugin (the custom water body) and tweaked the parameters in the material section to get it looking how I wanted. What has spun me out is that it appears that those changes have effected every project where I have used the custom water body. I don’t mean levels in the same project, I mean entirely different projects that have been completed and closed off, saved into different locations.

Can anyone help me on this please?

You modified an engine file.

First in the project you need it for, make a copy of the material.

Then from the launcher, click verify engine files and it will delete/restore all the engine files to stock removing any and all changes you made.
