When adding new functionality to this you will sadly need to touch a number of places: MaterialInstanceTimeVarying.uc for the actual data that will be used in the game MaterialEditorInstanceTimeVarying.uc for the editor property dialog that will be used to edit the data you just added void UMaterialEditorInstanceTimeVarying::CopyToSourceInstance() template< typename MI_TYPE, typename ARRAY_TYPE > (this copies void UpdateParameterValueOverTimeValues( void UMaterialEditorInstanceTimeVarying::RegenerateArrays() the various void UMaterialInstanceTimeVarying::Set (to set the defaul values) static void UpdateMICResources(UMaterialInstanceTimeVarying* Instance) (to send the data over to the rendering thread (if it needs it) Copyright 1998-2008 Epic Games, Inc.

MaterialInstanceTimeVarying

bAutoActivateAll Source code

causes all parameters to start playing immediately

FontParameterValues Source code

ScalarParameterValues Source code

TextureParameterValues Source code

VectorParameterValues Source code

FontParameterValueOverTime Source code

ParameterValueOverTime Source code

bAutoActivate:

This will auto activate this param

bLoop:

if true, then the CycleTime is the loop time and time loops

bNormalizeTime:

if true, then the CycleTime is used to scale time so all keys are between zero and one

CycleTime:

this controls time normalization and the loop time

StartTime:

when this is parameter is to start "ticking" then this value will be set to the current game time

ScalarParameterValueOverTime Source code

ParameterValue:

This allows MITVs to have both single scalar and curve values

ParameterValueCurve:

This will automatically be used if there are any values in this Curve

TextureParameterValueOverTime Source code

VectorParameterValueOverTime Source code

ParameterValueCurve:

This will automatically be used if there are any values in this Curve

ClearParameterValues Source code

Removes all parameter values

SetFontParameterValue Source code

Sets the value of the given font parameter.
@param ParameterName The name of the font parameter
@param OutFontValue New font value to set for this MIC
@param OutFontPage New font page value to set for this MIC

SetParent Source code

SetScalarCurveParameterValue Source code

SetScalarParameterValue Source code

For MITVs you can utilize both single Scalar values and InterpCurve values. If there is any data in the InterpCurve, then the MITV will utilize that. Else it will utilize the Scalar value of the same name.

SetScalarStartTime Source code

This sets how long after the MITV has been spawned to start "ticking" the named Scalar InterpCurve

SetTextureParameterValue Source code

SetVectorCurveParameterValue Source code

SetVectorParameterValue Source code

SetVectorStartTime Source code

This sets how long after the MITV has been spawned to start "ticking" the named Scalar InterpCurve
