Adding a Designer
Designers are created with the Designers array. Click (+) to create a new designer by adding a new array element.Every array element is a separate designer widget.
The size of the icons and the widget can be adjusted. The widget size can't be larger than the max size set in UI Panel Design.
Designer Settings
Designer Header appears at the top of the widget.There are two Target Actor Types
- Variation Actor - UI3 Variation blueprint actor
- External Actor - A blueprint actor not part of UI3
Designer Elements
Every Design Element represents a row in the Designer widget.The Tag name is what links the Target Actor with the Designer Element. Linked Variation Actors need to be set to Link To Designer
Target Actor Overwrite overwrites the Target type set for the Designer
- None (from Designer) - no override
- Variation Actor, Using Choices - The Element uses the Designer Choices array
- Variation Actor, Receiving Details - The Element uses the Variation Details array in the Variation actor
Element Choices and Variation Details are compatible and can be copied between the actors.
Element Choices
Choices are added to the Design Choices array.The index of the choice is sent, and the target actor changes the variation to that ID.

The Price is multiplied by the value set in Unit (amount) .
Designer To Variation Actor Link
Variation Actor and Designer are linked by having the same Tag name.The Variation Actor Type needs to be set to
- Link To Designer
Variation Details = Designer Choices

Designer To Blueprint Link
