I want to make the entire actor semi-transparent in blueprints? I know that I can make translucent materials, but what if an actor contains multiple meshes, with hundreds of materials, and most of them are not translucent by default? Is it possible?

I’ve seen it, but haven’t answered because you won’t like the answer 
You need to change all the materials to a translucent version.
@ClockworkOcean, it is the only possible solution?
You have to change the materials, basically 
Something that might help, depending on the situtation, is swapping to a single material version of the mesh, just for the duration of the transparency.

What this means? It is possible to merge the many materials into one? But how to be with the textures of each original material? Or what do you mean wih words “single material version of the mesh”?
You have to make a special mesh, which only has one material. It’s only a useful idea in some cases…
Reading back over this, it sounds like you’ve merged a lot of actors into one mesh, and now want to make it transparent.
As far as I know, that can only happen in the material, not in a post process etc.
