So here’s the scenario- I have a library scene with an assortment of different book meshes scattered about. They all use the same static mesh, but I have a variety of different materials created for them to make them look different.
What would be the best approach to randomly assign a material to each book upon spawn?
I’d probably make an array containing each material then use a random int(the size of your array) with the ‘get’ node to assign the random material. I can elaborate if you need.
Alright, that sounds good. I am having trouble referencing the various materials though, as they aren’t all applied to the static mesh in this blueprint. How might I go about adding them to the array?
You could also use the “select” node which is often overlooked. This performs in a similar way to a switch, but it requires less nodes as it just picks the result for you.
Hi Necro_ABK. How would you go about creating array of materials? I can’t seem to find any good info on that.
