Shared samplers

Hi,

I am fairly new to UE’s blueprint. And so I got this error: X4510 maximum samplers reached (16). I understand why I got it as I was trying to have 20 samplers. I tried trouble shooting it and landed on a previous post which had gotten an answer regarding using shared samplers in order to be able to get past the 16 limit. My question is how do I set up these shared samplers and where to I find them? If anyone could point me in the right direction or to some documentation or youtube videos I would be forever grateful.

Here is the post that mentions the shared samplers [SM5] error X4510 maximum samplers reached (16), only 14 active in material - Rendering - Unreal Engine Forums

ue4’s material editor isnt called blueprints. its just the (node based) material editor.
click on a texture sample, and on the left side in the material editor you’ll see some options, one of them being “Sampler source” and change that one.
