Hi guys, I tried everything, google’d everything, but I can’t find a solution.
So this is what I want to achieve:
I have a blueprint that contains a sphere that I can click on. I have 3 public static mesh variables, that are public. I have 3 static mesh spheres in the scene that I can put in my blueprint object.
I click on the glass sphere and it unhides the 3 material spheres. They are referenced in the blueprint because they’re public. I now want to be able to click on one of the 3 material spheres to change the material on the chair.
Changing the material works, and it gets picked from the sphere and assigned on the chair, that works. I just can’t make the mouseclick work on one of the 3 spheres.
Thank you for reading and I hope the pictures are clear.
Does your static mesh has collision shapes?
Make sure on hit/touch events are enabled in player controller, and the raycast channel is setting according to static mesh settings.
eh…you are using the bind event wrong.
I wish there are simpler way to describe, but be patient.
“Bind Event to OnClicked” node’s input execution line should be after “EventBeginPlay” before “ToggleVisibility”, so it only run once.
“Bind event to OnClicked” target can be what you have right now, but later you need a way to rebind target for different material ball.
“OnClicked_Event”'s output execution pin are suppose to connect to the “SetMaterial”'s input execution pin.
And finally, this is kinda bad way to do things all in one place, because you would have duplicate efforts for many binding and event for each sphere ball at the end.
to make it better try this.
make a blueprint for your clear sphere so it does the following.
have an array for material ball blueprint, make sure it’s editable and expose on spawn.
have click event to toggle all material ball’s visibility by using loop
during event begin play, set the objToChangeMaterial and pass them to all material ball in array
make a material ball blueprint, and have following function/event
an event to accept a input component/object to change material
click event to apply your material on the saved reference component/object
After done all that, you can create your material ball and assign to your master clear ball in editor, hit play and everything should be good.
And no weird wiring.
