Intro to Blueprints

 For this assignment I decided to create an area that changes the material parameters for the ground and makes the mushrooms move and rotate. 

I started with simple set up for key inputs and created an array that contains all mushrooms in the Blueprint. 

In the Blueprint, I created a trigger box that changes the parameters when the character is inside.  Then, I got a reference to the plane's material and created a dynamic material instance, and added timeline for the smooth color changing.

For the mushrooms, I used the data from event tick to set their rotation and added random locators that are also triggered bythe box.

For the texture swap, I used a G key as an input and  set the new value for the scalar parameter in Lerp.
