I have an actor which is used for every object which is interactable, but to indicate on player the specific object, i want to flash the static mesh with light. I managed to do it manually by creating 2 Material functions (One which is the parent and the other is the light functionality) and using them on a Material with a simple BlendLayer node. Though is there a way to use only the material that is already used in the StaticMesh and create a new MaterialInstance by referencing the light functionality? What I want:
// Header file
// Flashing Item functionality
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
class UMaterialFunctionInterface* MaterialFunction;
// For future use. For example if i want to stop flashing item using Material Parameters.
UPROPERTY()
class UMaterialInstanceDynamic* MaterialInstance;
// CPP file
UMaterialInterface* ParentMaterial = ItemMesh->GetMaterial(0);
MaterialInstance = UMaterialInstanceDynamic::Create(ParentMaterial, this);
// Add the material function as a material layer
MaterialInstance->AddMaterialFunction(MaterialFunction);
ItemMesh->SetMaterial(0, MaterialInstance)
The Flashing Material Function:
