Swap Actor 2025

The blueprint actor BP_KitchenBuilder_Swap2025 connects the kitchen to a user interface. This allows changing most materials and the general style of the kitchen in run-time.

NOTE: the kitchen cannot be constructed in run-time, only in the editor.

KitchenBuilder_Examples

Hit play in the examples level and a simple interface with a few choices will appear.

BPI_KitchenBuilder

has been added to the Swap Actors Class Settings.

Any interface with the function Change Variation and the variables

• Var ID (integer)
• Tag (string)

will do. The Swap Actor is listening to the function with these 2 variables.

W_KitchenSwapsMenu

The widget has two groups of 3 buttons. One group for changing materials and the other group for changing the style.

All actors with the interface are collected when a button is clicked and the widget sends a specific Tag (eg. kitchenmaterials) with the ID number to all the collected actors.

The function from the blueprint interface is executed if its tag name matches the received tag name and the element in the kitchen will be changed to the variation with the sent ID.

BP_KitchenSwapActor2025

There are 2 different swap actors in the content browser. Make sure you use the 2025 version.

Place the actor near the kitchen blueprint.

NOTE: Two actors are used in the example, one for materials and one for styles. This could also be done with just one actor.

Kitchen Selection

Add an array element for each kitchen that should be connected to the swap actor.

Then use the eye dropper to connect the kitchen to the swap actor. Both actors need to be in the same level, or the link won't work.
