Switch Material problem

+2 votes

Following this blog 

http://blog.audiokinetic.com/footsteps-material-management-using-wwise-/-unreal-engine-4-/-unity-3d 

On profiler, it receives the Switch to "[material]" for footsteps, showing as the picture in the blog, but the corresponding container does not switch. It sticks to default object. Double checked:

- Assigned objects on the Switch container correspond to Random containers.

- On GameSync Switch group with corresponding switches.

- Scope of random containers to switch from is Game Object

- Correct sound reproduction of footsteps containers when switched from transport or selection.

If someone has an idea of what I might be missing I'll be really happy. Thank you.

Here an example from the log: (keeps triggering gravel sounds after the switch to snow has been received)

I'm having the exact same issue but my profile capture log lists as Local Player just like the example online. Everything else checks out ok as far sound corresponding to the material via auditioning Switches on transport etc...  I'm on OS X Sierra and noticed a few bugs already, had to restart a few times during lesson 2 and 3. I'm curious if you are on the same OS(Sierra?).

Did you ever figure out what your issue was? I seem to be having the same problem.

In my tutorial I've used ThirdPersonCharacter and it seems you are trying with FirstPersonCharacter, so you just have to change 2 things in your BP :
- "CastToFirstPersonCharacter" instead of "CastToThirdPersonCharacter"
- "Target -> Mesh2P" box instead of "Target -> Mesh"
