Structs[edit]

LightmassMaterialInterfaceSettings[edit]

Modifiers: native

Material interface settings for Lightmass

float EmissiveBoost 
Scales the emissive contribution of this material to static lighting.
float DiffuseBoost 
Scales the diffuse contribution of this material to static lighting.
float SpecularBoost 
Scales the specular contribution of this material to static lighting.
float ExportResolutionScale 
Scales the resolution that this material's attributes were exported at.

This is useful for increasing material resolution when details are needed.

bool bOverrideEmissiveBoost 
If TRUE, override the emissive boost setting of the parent material.
bool bOverrideDiffuseBoost 
If TRUE, override the diffuse boost setting of the parent material.
bool bOverrideSpecularBoost 
If TRUE, override the specular boost setting of the parent material.
bool bOverrideExportResolutionScale 
If TRUE, override the export resolution scale setting of the parent material.

Default values:

Property Value
DiffuseBoost 1.0
EmissiveBoost 1.0
ExportResolutionScale 1.0
SpecularBoost 1.0

Native functions[edit]

GetFontParameterValue[edit]

native function bool GetFontParameterValue (name ParameterName, out Font OutFontValue, out int OutFontPage)


GetMaterial[edit]

native final noexport function Material GetMaterial ()


GetPhysicalMaterial[edit]

native final noexport function PhysicalMaterial GetPhysicalMaterial () const

Returns a pointer to the physical material used by this material instance.

Returns:

The physical material.

GetScalarCurveParameterValue[edit]

native function bool GetScalarCurveParameterValue (name ParameterName, out Object.InterpCurveFloat OutValue)


GetScalarParameterValue[edit]

native function bool GetScalarParameterValue (name ParameterName, out float OutValue)


GetTextureParameterValue[edit]

native function bool GetTextureParameterValue (name ParameterName, out Texture OutValue)


GetVectorCurveParameterValue[edit]

native function bool GetVectorCurveParameterValue (name ParameterName, out Object.InterpCurveVector OutValue)


GetVectorParameterValue[edit]

native function bool GetVectorParameterValue (name ParameterName, out Object.LinearColor OutValue)


SetForceMipLevelsToBeResident[edit]

native function SetForceMipLevelsToBeResident (bool OverrideForceMiplevelsToBeResident, bool bForceMiplevelsToBeResidentValue, float ForceDuration)

Forces the streaming system to disregard the normal logic for the specified duration and instead always load all mip-levels for all textures used by this material.

Parameters:

  • ForceDuration - Number of seconds to keep all mip-levels in memory, disregarding the normal priority logic.
