How to read material parameter names

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hi,

I am trying to read the property names of a material assigned to a static mesh. In blueprints, the only node that I found was “Scalar parameter values” array from a dynamic material instance, from which I can read the name and the value. The problem is that it always return an empty array, even tho the material instance defenitely has scalar parameters. I can even set a parameter if I type in the name, so the parameter node is defenitely there. Now my blueprint looks like this:

Is there another node which would get me the names or am I missing something?

I could also try to use c++ to achieve this but I don’t know the language. I managed to generate a custom node that I can call from my blueprint, but that is as far as I managed to get.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I ran into this issue a few months ago. The only way to get the node to work is to have looked up each parameter value or set the parameter value.
