UE4 Item Swapping

Post by Rinzzler » Mon Aug 08, 2016 11:04 am

I know that item swapping can be done as shown in your youtube video 'Creature Anchor Points And Item Swapping Tutorial', but I would like to know if the same can be done for swapping from Character meshes. In the character mesh screen all meshes have some number to them. Using that in the Set Blue Print Region Item Swap Name doesn't do the trick, which is expected since I assumed that it is intended exclusively for swapping from Sprite Frame Manager.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Unfortunately not right now. The character mesh framework was not built for item swapping since it was from an older design. That is why the sprite frame manager was made to enable operations like these to take place.
I will recommend you add a similar image in the sprite frame manager to accomplish your desired task.

Cheers
