Custom Lighting Control on Drone

[bswaika]

Hi all,

Hope this finds you well. I am working on a class project which requires me to set up lighting on a drone, i.e, I am trying to put emissive lighting spheres on the drone mesh. I need to be able to control the lighting from airsim, i.e, change the color of the emissive light. I know it might require me to recompile the source, but I would really appreciate it if somebody could walk me through the steps on how to implement something like that. I am new to UE4 and so far have created the material and put a sphere on the drone and created a dynamic material instance with the construction script. Am I going the right way? Please help.

Thank you.
