Controlling a Material in Unreal Matinee - UDK Tutorials by Javahawk

Creating a matinee/cinematic that modifies a material instance parameter.

I'll create an instance of a parent material with a color parameter - Reference it in kismet/matinee, animate the material instance's color parameter, and trigger it via a trigger volume.

This is an intermediate level tutorial.

I managed to apply everything and see the effect in matinee, however when I use it on a trigger nothing happens... why?

@Ignacio666 THANK YOU SO MUCH. I thought I was losing my mind. It didn't used to be restricted in that way. I wonder why they changed it.

thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

Might want to add. This will not work if your materialinstanceconstant is applied on CSG geometry. I had to find that out the hard way. :)
