player controlled complex material colour changer

[anarchy]

Im looking for a 'cheap' way to change the colour of the clothes on my charactor. For example, I want the player to be able to change the colours of the jacket, buttons, highlights. . .

Obviously this could easily be achieved by having multiple seperate materials UVWd for each section of the jacket, but im hoping theres a way it can be done using just 1 material.

If anyone knows a way this can be done, please help, its driving me crazy!

Thanks.

A good combination of lerps and multiplying each area you want to change with a vector parameter, with each vector parameter named for whatever part you're changing. That way each parameter can be changed via kismet or script.

Thanks, ill look into vector perameters. I presume thats a node in the material editor?

Yep. It's just a color value basically.
