DMX -> Only showing white / no colors

Hey guys,

I’m pretty new to Unreal and DMX. I’ve been trying to simulate a lighting stage show.
Connection between SoundSwitch (DMX Software) and Unreal works fine. Also the added fixtures work almost perfeclty. Everything but the color changing is working as intended!

Form the attached screenshot I can see, that the data is coming in, but Unreal just doesn’t care and the colors of the lights won’t change!

Anyone has an idea how to get that fixed so I can also control the colors?

Kind regards

What is your light fixture type looking like? I think your light is using the color attribute and not the red, green and blue attributes.

Hey, idk if you are still having this problem but I had a similar issue and it turned out that for some reason the moving head fixtures did not have a “color_component” class connected to them.
If this is the case for you, you can add one to your fixtures by:

  1. Select your fixture(s) in the outliner
  2. In the Details tab, click “+ Add”
  3. Search for “color” and select color component under “DMX”

I hope this helps!
