Interactive materials in UE | How to change materials in Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

[@michaelkukula5926]

CLOSING THE WIDGET: For those of you who want to know how to close the widget: In the Blueprint Event Graph: After On Clicked (spheremesh), instead of connecting directly to Create WD Sphere Widget, add a Flip Flop between them. Connect the Create WD Sphere Widget to A. Then continue with the rest of what he said. Then from B of the Flip Flop, connect a Get All Widgets of Class Then Connect Remove From Parent to that, and also connect the Get All Widgets of Class' "Found Widgets" to the Target of "Remove from Parent" Compile and save. So when you play, you just click your mesh a second time and the widget will close.

[@koshdigital]

Thanks. This is one of the way. Great. Let's keep building the community better

[@LocNgVIZ]

7:42. How did you can use click when you press play??? I try to apply your way but can't see everything happened when press Play

[@koshdigital]

Did you drag the blueprint to the scene.???

[@atvisualization]

same situation here. i can't use click when I press play. my mouse just rotated my view.

[@pedrorivera1892]

Amazing! thank you for the video!

[@koshdigital]

Thanks! Hope it helps you out.

[@MetaPersonUE]

thank you for the tutorial. but I am try to build a VR project and i needed the same interaction with VR trigger button. Can someone tell me how to replace or merge mouse & VR controller.

[@koshdigital]

I haven't done this yet in vr. But You can try to use the VR controller's trigger button event to trigger the material change in VR mode.

[@Mohamedalaa-mc7hr]

I just want you to know something, your amazing man, I searched for this for two weeks until I found you. I will test it and come back with the results.

[@koshdigital]

Thank you. Please let us know.

[@Mohamedalaa-mc7hr]

@@koshdigital it's worked fine, but you didn't mention how we can make the text box disappear after choose one martial.

may be I will try to make another video. In the sample project, if you notice, I have done that. Keepsupporting

[@OoJxCorrey]

Hey, really great Tutorial. I have a question. If i have a whole Archviz House with several Materials on it but letz say just one material instance for the Roomwalls how can i just change one wall or room in Material or Color ? Do i have to make every Wall as standalone Mesh and BP? or can i use Matinstances and using just the right index ?

[@koshdigital]

Hey thanks. Logic is this, if u want any mesh to have multiple material options, u have to have them separated. It's like this, I click a geometry, it displays material options. Be it a room or just a wall. If it is a room, u add all the walls meshes as one and or if it is just a wall, just as a mesh to be able to click. Then you can have multiple material instances attached to that mesh and with corresponding material ID. Let me know how it goes.

[@billchang2756]

Thank you very much. but now I have other problem, I can't interact with the object. what kind of player controller do you use and how to show my mouse cursor?

[@koshdigital]

Did you drag the blueprint and variant Manager into the level?

[@chukwuodinaka646]

Thanks so much. I’ve been looking for how to do this. Keep the videos coming.❤

You are so welcome! Glad it helped. thanks you

question what template you used? I followed exactly the same with your tutorial, but it doesn't work me.

Basic arch template. Where did you get stuck? Explain, may be I could try to help.

[@littledragon9357]

Love the tutorial, altho I have seen the comments about making a player controller but I cant get it to work, do you have a recomended tutorial or step guide on how to make one with the required functions?

sorry for bothering I fixed it, again ty for the tutorial

[@koshdigital]

Glad it helped

[@koshdigital]

Great. It's a simple step. Thanks for watching

[@zatlanibrahim5438]

Thank you so much for the tutorial so in order to apply it for a table for eg I must put the BP of the table in the scene, and erase the static mesh of it (that was present before this) ?

[@koshdigital]

Yes. That's correct. You can simply right click on the existing one and replace them with the new one you created. Or simply drag the new one and delete the old one. Logic is, you are triggering an actor to perform some action. So for that the actor must be present in the scene.

[@zatlanibrahim5438]

@@koshdigital you're awesome, I liked the way you explained that in ur video at first saying "so there's 3 actions to perform" makes it easier to understand the sequence of level variants-widgets apperance-bp ! your tutorial just saved me ! thx you got a new sub

[@pushthebutton4602]

Hi maybe too late, but can you use this for changing the HDRI Backdrop and change texture?

[@koshdigital]

Yes. But why would you need a blueprint to change hdri backdrop. You can directly do it. If u meant to show how it would look with different lighting scenarios, then try doing levels with different lighting scenarios.

[@Archcreations87]

Great Video! I have it only working if I use Event Begin Play. The On Clicked blueprint static mesh doesn't work for me [I click the blueprint actor and nothing happens]. Anything missing on earlier steps with plugins or projects settings I need enabled? Version UE 5.4

[@koshdigital]

Hey! You have to drag the blueprint into the scene.. Try it and May be you should check project settings.

[@Prez3D]

I'd love to use this for automotive configurator. How would I change geometry with this, not only materials?

[@koshdigital]

Yes that is something which I wanted to make a video. I will soon. It's pretty much the similar approach but few more steps to be done. Please keep watching

[@Prez3D]

When I play my car configurator nothing pops up. How do I connect existing geometry like car body so that clicking it triggers the paint menu? It's a bit confusing. @@koshdigital​

[@koshdigital]

did you add the car body as a static mesh? also make sure, the material id of the car body and assign it accordingly with the material configurator.

thank you. 1. you have to create the widget canvas to match with the output width. 2. it is altogether a different approach. may be I will try to make a video.

[@izaaak]

this is awesome, i was looking for this, just a question, how do i manage to use the "click" during the gameplay, im using the "archviz" template and just does not allow me to use it, just to navigate around

[@koshdigital]

Thank you. Did u turn on mouse click events in player controller settings?

[@izaaak]

@@koshdigital thanks for the answer. I didnt knew how but after a bit of reaserch i discover how. I followed your tutorial, works great!! just another question, because i manage to make the user interface widget to appear but not to disapear, what could you suggest? thanks in advance!

[@koshdigital]

@@izaaak glad. If you could share what you have found, it would be useful for others as well. when it comes to widget disappearing, I intentionally did it to disappear, otherwise when I click on the other material, it will overlap. So usually people keep the widgets at a fixed location to choose from, like for example, cabinet material as one row, counter material in another row and so on.

[@atvisualization]

I'm doing a project for VR, and I need to do the "bake lighting ". What would this blueprints function be like but with bake lighting "? no lumen,

Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination system. so no baked lighting with Lumen. If you need to use baked lighting, it requires different setup. Honestly I need to try this.

Hey. Great tutorial. Do you know how to use this setup with the 1st Person template controller?

[@marcomazzanti3197]

What template and game mode are you using? I can't see the mouse in viewport when I'm in play

I use a basic template. For mouse to be visible, you need to create player controller, and at the mouse interface, tick show mouse cursor and enable click events. Try this and let me know how it goes

[@nikadatuashvili2306]

Thanks for clear tutorial SUBED, first if anyone is wandering how to close widget after choosing mats : add 2 notes 'on released' for both buttoms and link them separatly to 'remove all widgets'. Koshdigital i have problem i want to do this to other bpmesh, did everything as on sphere but at the end i can't copy 'on clicked' nodes . . . please help or maybe make other video, also is it possible to make widget more beautiful like it to spawn several spheres with different materials and choose from there. because on widget you can only add image texture not 3d mesh with material.

[@koshdigital]

Hi thanks. I didn't want to make the video longer. Logic is the same. Like you have asked for switching geometries, I did a quick video as well using the pre built templates.

Wonderful tutorial!!!, thankful!! but, I´ve followed the tutorialas it is, but the widget menu no appear when i press the sphere...do anyone know how to fix it? thank you very muchhhh in advance

[@koshdigital]

thank you for the comment. the logic is this. - Create a level - Create a player controller (at the mouse interface, tick show mouse cursor, enable click events, enable touch events) - Create game mode and apply the player controller in its player controller class (you can do this in the project world settings while playing) - Create level variant for materials and add relevant meshes on to it - Create widget with necessary buttons, apply relevant level variant sets in it - Create blueprints, apply respective static mesh & widget class in it. The above steps can get the interaction works perfectly.

No. Just add the materials based on it's IDs. That's it

You need to enable click mouse events. Please read the comments section. You will find the solution

[@karl9456]

@koshdigital is there a way to make this button work in VR? Does the "on clicked" need to be something else or would I have to do more script editing? I'm a novice and tried some solutions but I can't get the widget button to pop up in VR.

I done that all on third person template, what should I do get rid of mannequin (I done) but able to click with mouse?

[@koshdigital]

Such interior animations, most people don't prefer third person template. Anyhow. My understanding is that you need to edit the third person template BP, just remove the character and keep only the camera. When you do that, you will end up having a template thats pretty much like first person template. Honestly I need to try it out myself to give you a proper advice on this.
