Changing opacity of teleportation plane by pressing "V"

[peterk18]

Hi Everyone,

I’m currently trying to create a blueprint in the product viewer template to allow you to change the opacity from 1 to 0 and back again by pressing the key “V”. I have a plane which has a texture applied to it of an autocad 2d drawing which is used as the teleportation plane and as there is equipment below, I would like to be able to hide the plane while still being able to teleport using it.

My understanding of blueprints is nearly none existent and I haven’t managed to work out how to do this yet. So any explanation would need to be quite detailed.

Many thanks in advance

Peter

You can use the “Set hidden in Game” node to toggle between visible and hidden.

Set Actor Hidden In Game

I’ve attached a screengrab of 2 basic setups that will toggle the visibility of the targeted plane. The first one makes the object visible while the V button is being held and hides it when you release the button. The second option switches between visibility every time you use the V key.

Thanks DannyBasting, I’ll give this a go
