Hi.

I wanted to make an Actor represented as box but how should apply material to him?

Thanks in advance for help.

From what i know, box component don’t have any actual mesh to set material, is just used for collision detection.

This is how you add 1 material.

//Adding materials to the static mesh component.
	static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UMaterial> Material(TEXT("<INSERT MATERIAL REFERENCE>"));
	if (Material.Succeeded()){
		this->StaticMeshComponent->SetMaterial(0, Material.Object);
	}

UBoxComponent cannot have materials added to it.
