Variation And Object Info Actors
The Variation Actor is the link between the User Interface and the Assets in the scene, so they can be edited.
The Object Info displays information without editing.
Content:
Variation Actor - General Settings
Variation Actor - Choices Buttons
Variation Actor - Placement
Select the scene object and then press the key [M]. This will make the level the object is in the current level. Variation Actor and scene object need to be in the same level.
Assign Scene Objects
Add an array element to the Actors array. Then use the eye-dropper icon to link the object to the Variation Actor.
Multiple objects can be linked if they share the same materials or mesh that the user should be able to change.

Material Choices Array
Add an array element for each material ID of the object in the scene that has choices.
- Set the Material ID to the object's material ID
- Then add an array element for each choice for that ID to the Material Variations array.
Do the same for another Material ID. In the example image the pillow's 2nd material ID is for the striped material choices.
Both materials will be changed to the choice buttons ID when the button is clicked.
- Disabled The mesh will not change (default)
- Lock Mesh and Material ID The Choice Buttons will change both mesh and material to the selected choice ID.
- Show Both Mesh and Material Buttons This will create a 2nd row with buttons for mesh choices. The preview icon will be taken from the Object Info
