I believe you could also select your previous lights and "Replace selected actors with" choosing your new BP, so you don't have to copy and move and all that. Useful if you already have a scene built and are swapping a bunch of the same items.

Great tutorial. Super useful and clear!

[@lukasallenbaugh4728]

Thanks! This was exactly what I was looking for!

[@lindsaynoble4349]

YES! Work flow optimization and creative control is what I need. This is a great example of how to do this in one case of lighting control.

not sure if this is the real instance, i think for the mesh, if u copied in the level, its instance, but for the lights ,they are already instanced from souce code the c++ class of light, this should does nothing on performance, for the sake of adjusting values, i think the normal lights are easisr to deal with

[@samgebhardt5135]

What if you just want to change one of them.. is there a way to make an "instance" of the blueprint that would allow you to turn one red or something

[@kevincantrell6295]

So I understood everything you did and was able to duplicate, the problem I have is when I try to make a cinematic of it only one light adjusts. Do I have to add all those lights to Sequencer to control them if so, doesn't that defeat the purpose of making the Blueprint because I do that individually without the Blueprint.

[@FabriceBourrelly]

hm great point, thanks for that. I'll look into it.

[@DangerSideburns]

Doesn't look like indirect lighting is supported if you stick your light in a blueprint. This kinda cripples this method for me.

[@christos-marioseftichidis4139]

Actually instances are for static meshes, so no value here apart from inherited components,variables.

If you have a ton of raw lights and you're trying to replace them all with Blueprints, instead of doing it all manually, you can literally 'replace them' using this method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIHGeH-InJt8d8k
