BP_HeatMapToken

Description

• This blueprint is a token for the crime heatmap. For each cell, one token will be spawned if the heatmap is generated. Each token will then be colored according to how many crimes are around it. If you want to change how the tokens behave, you can do so in here. Also, you find the material used here (M_HeatMapTranslucent). If you want to edit how it work, you can duplicate the material and adjust e. g. the colors that are used for the heatmap display inside the material graph. Then, you can make your own child deriving from this blueprint using your material.
