Saving material

[ClockworkOcean]

Its really simple, nothing fancy but would be really useful. I’ll attach images. Every dot represents a mesh, when “hit” it changes the material.

Below the blueprint for the mesh that changes material

Im actually trying thtat plugin right now but cant manage it to same my variable. I have followed the documentation but my variable “setmaterial” isnt saved.

Had no idea this would be so hard to accomplish. All the graphics from 3ds max is supereasy to retrieve now with datasmith, i already have nice 360 renders but this is a pain like you said.
Did a inventory based 2d game a couple of years ago in a 2d engine with lots of save functions and that was so easy compared to this.

Since im on a deadline, do you know if there is a “marketplace” for getting this relative small project done by someone how knows what to do? Paid of course.

Yes, so at least you have the material as a fixed int from an array. That’s a good start.

If all the BPs also had their own ID, then you have everything you need to do it with the default UE save game. You’d need a little bit of code to set the IDs, just get all actors of class and then set ID, but you’d need to do that in the level BP as an editor mode custom event. If you don’t know about that it’s probably quicker to get the plugin working, but I’m afraid I haven’t used it.

EDIT: Ok, I read the docs. You just mark the variables for saving.

Then you need to use those blueprint nodes ( in the quick start ) to do the actual save and load. Did you do that?
