Swapping Actors for Nodes
In the MP Node Graph, a large proportion of nodes drive actor to perform. When the graph contains many nodes and most of them need the same actor, the Swap Actor function allows you to assign the actor to multiple nodes at once, eliminating the need to set them individually and saving setup time.
Supported nodes: Nodes in Motion Node category (Prop node excluded).
