I have solved the issue with the motion controller. On the testcube it works good…
apply a different
colour to each of the static meshes
separately?
For this each mesh would need its own dynamic material:
The above assumes the static meshes have the pertinent material already assigned, we simply create a dynamic one and override it.
I select components with the mouse, you’ve got your controller; assuming you’re getting a hit (do tell how you get a reference):
It’s a quick mock-up - hope it makes sense.
Thanks a lot for all the patience, examples and excellent support!!
It’s all working well right now…
I have learned a lot of you as an Unreal newbe!!
I am really sorry. But I truly no longer understand what you’re trying to do.
In my head:
- you have some actors hanging about in the level
- each actor has a bunch of static meshes
- each actor has 1 dynamic material assigned to one or more static meshes
- you use a controller to select one of those actors, a widget pops-up
- by clicking a widget button we change something in the that actor’s material
How close am I? Everything I’ve posted revolves around the above.
And if I understand correctly your
above post, the construction script
has to be set only for one static
mesh?
How am I supposed to know how many meshes you want the material assigned to? It’s your project, the examples assumes one.
If you want to change the colour of 1 mesh, assign the material to 1 static mesh. If you want to change the colour of all static meshes, assign it to all static meshes. Or to some of them.
