Hello. I need to make a floor with a material that is only visible under a dynamic number of pawns, the rest of the floor should not be visible. I found out about the sphereMask function and used it with a Masked material, set the values using a material parameter collection, played around a little bit. I need to make it work for every pawn being spawned over time. Here’s a screenshot of what I was able to do: ![11617-captura+de+pantalla+2014-07-31+a+la(s)+17.34.09.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/a/8/2a8a27e6147e3712de91b7d1cc13e8774a43e9ad.png) The Material: ![11618-captura+de+pantalla+2014-07-31+a+la(s)+17.35.53.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/f/a/1fa58e0dd0eef532716a03d7d923259364049c0f.png) ---

that’s actually the tutorial I watched to floor visible under the one character. I don’t know how to apply it to multiple characters. ---

I know this is from 4 months ago but have you figured out the solution yet? I am currently trying to do the same thing. Thanks! ---

No, I never got to do it. I no longer need to though, because the game I was doing changed a lot. I would still like to know how to do it though 😛 ---
