As the title implies, i am trying to make it so that when i press 1 2 or 3 the character body would change color to red blue and green, for instance.
I have found this tutorial UE4 - Tutorial - Dynamic Materials in BluePrints! (Request!) - YouTube that explains how to do it for objects but i can’t wrap my head around how to make the player Body material to do just that.
As you can see from the pictures, i tried to make the parent of the dynamic material the body material of the mannequin, but it does not work when i press the 1 key. I have also tried to make a material color collection to reference for the player skeletal mesh that has the body material and still nothing, i am at a complete loss.
