How To Use Material Instances In Data Tables?

[eblade]

Actually, here’s something that looks like it might work – both UMaterial and UMaterialInstance are UObjects, and they both implement UMaterialInterface.

SO, I’m not entirely 100% positive this will work, as in, i haven’t tried it, but doing some additional googling around, I find this possible answer

Is TSubclassOf<> possible with interfaces?

Found a solution to this. UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, meta = (MustImplement = "MyInterfaceName") ) TSubclassOf&lt;AActor&gt; MyInterfaceClass; Just to be clear, “MyInterfaceName” is the exposed or “blueprint” name, not the C++ name. So if in c++ you define UFoo and IFoo as the interface classes then MustImplement = “Foo”. Took me awhile to figure that one out.

It looks like if you give it a TSubclassOf with a meta=(MustImplement=(“MaterialInterface”)) that it would allow you to specify Materials, MaterialInstances, or anything else that implements MaterialInterface . . .
