Hey, how to make material that reads

[cold beacon]

Do you actually need this to return the size or you just want it to look like they’re being scanned?

[sharp solstice]

just horizonal value to mask uper and lower pars 🤔

Return to where?

I just want to make building animation from ground to top.
but I can't rely on single mesh cause sometimes actor is bigger. should I maybe add parameters from actor to material?

If it’s 3D, this will be done in the actor blueprint using the static mesh; not the material. Or is this 2D?

I need to pass progress value from actor (probably from BP).
I want to use material on few meshes 🤔

Is your game 2D or 3D?

[sharp solstice]

3d

Blueprints or C++?

[sharp solstice]

any

So you’re new?

I would start with #blueprint

[sharp solstice]

no

I would like to make single material rather than instancing it on every actor and using min/max bounding box extents to pass parameters to material and Interpolate between world object positions

I misunderstood you the second time… my goodness I cant read today. Let me find an example and you tell me if that’s what you mean

[sharp solstice]

I can't phrase questions, so on offense 😄

like this?

Ye thats overkill :D, yes, I just need base functionality

Okay yeah I thought you wanted to build the buildings too lol
