Search help

  • Simple searches use one or more words. Separate the words with spaces (cat dog) to search cat,dog or both. Separate the words with plus signs (cat +dog) to search for items that may contain cat but must contain dog.
  • You can further refine your search on the search results page, where you can search by keywords, author, topic. These can be combined with each other. Examples
    • cat dog --matches anything with cat,dog or both
    • cat +dog --searches for cat +dog where dog is a mandatory term
    • cat -dog -- searches for cat excluding any result containing dog
    • [cats] —will restrict your search to results with topic named "cats"
    • [cats] [dogs] —will restrict your search to results with both topics, "cats", and "dogs"

Media Player - Play issues

0

Hello - I have a single media player, texture, material and video source.

I play the video (MP4) on an actor with the starter content 'Plane' mesh and initiate an open source - everything works great.

Problem: If I introduce another same actor into the world and play video on one actor (with reference) - it will play on all, not just the actor referenced.

How can I prevent this and only play video on the single actor? - I don't want to use multiple media players as that will get very messy for what I want to do.

Any input appreciated, Thanks.

You need to have a media player (and probably texture) for each object you want to control separately.

Hi 4nof, shame as if you have a large quantity of screens such as a Tokyo type scene it can get rather annoying to manage. I guess I could introduce a data table, have one actor BP and build by index within the construction script pulling from that table.

If the framerate is not an issue you could use flipbook texture source instead of a video file and media player and then just use dynamic Material instances. Basically it would be like having GIF animations.
