I have done similar kind of effects (Drawing/Painting) in the past with Chameleon and included them as "Recipes" in Package. The example you show however, needs a little bit more than those. I think it's possible to do but needs some time. I'll take a look at it and will share the result.

Here is the problem. I am using the FPS template as an example.
I uncheck "Unbound" in the InternalPP
In the editor (without playing) I don't get rain drops unless I enter the volume. So far so good.
Now I want to test out the effect while playing (I am stating outside the volume)
I press Play and the even though I am not in the volume the effect is active.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!Last edited by bigboy2k; 02-21-2017, 02:02 PM.

Can't share a screen right now but it's in the main Chameleon window like all other effects. Unfortunately Unreal Engine doesn't allows us to re-order that group list so it must be 5 or 6 from the end of the effect list. Please let me know if that works for you?Thank you so much! I feel so stupid that I didn't see that.

[MENTION=973]SumFX[/MENTION], first thanks so much for the updates! Really helpful to have the radial blur mask and tint for the screen damageAWESOME!!!
So, onto my question...
I'm using the "Custom Depth Highlighter (Clip)" effect and it's working perfectly except this one scenario...
I have a pawn w/ multiple static mesh components and the static mesh components are clipping each other, making the highlight turn on when I'm looking straight at it. Is there any way to adjust for this use case?

Another example you could think of is if you attach a weapon to a pawn and both have the custom depth option set. With this setup, I'm seeing the weapon "clipping" the pawn and the pawn shows up highlighted behind the weapon...but if both the pawn and weapon are behind a wall, I'd want them both highlighted. Is that possible?
Thanks.

In the image below, objects 1, 2 and 3 have custom depth enabled and Chameleon's "Custom Depth Highlighter (Clip)" is in effect. As you can see there's no clipping between these three objects.

For example, in a third person game, when my character is clipping in front of enemies, it can cause the highlight effect to appear on the enemies. A decent work around (for my use case at least) is to turn on the render custom depth option for the player's pawn...but there are still times when geo gets in between my pawn and the camera, triggering the highlight effect on the player's pawn.
This just might not be achievable w/ the system, but figured I'd ask!Check out my ★★★★★ UE4 plugin if you want to go fast!- Feedback Event Factory: Perfect for managing sounds, particle systems, force feedback, camera shakes, time dilation, animations & more...all within a single Blueprint!

Originally posted by rcdarcey View PostOK...so, this isn't a bug but it's a weird use case I want to see if I can achieve. Is there anyway you can specify an actor to both NOT show up with the highlight and NOT trigger the highlight when it's clipping an object?

Originally posted by SumFX View PostSorry to say that but it is not possible without modifiying the Chameleon. Basic workaround for this would be enabling the custom depth on player's pawn too. But this action would be create a new side effects. However, i'll keep this in my mind and may be i can solve this in one of the future releases.Check out my ★★★★★ UE4 plugin if you want to go fast!- Feedback Event Factory: Perfect for managing sounds, particle systems, force feedback, camera shakes, time dilation, animations & more...all within a single Blueprint!
