Verified native base-color orientation
This authentic GPU capture uses the existing host’s calibration floor and two geometry landmarks. North is +world X; east is +world Y. The native scene’s floor material uses a fixed inverse UV rotation to match its mesh mapping. Your own mesh UVs may require a different calibration.
The legacy lit comparison at exposure bias -3 remained pale and washed out in this validation scene. The world-map UI also stretches the calibration image at its current layout. Neither image is approved for final presentation; they are excluded from this guide’s illustrations.
Placed native parameter views
These seven views display39 real, noneditable Unreal PropertyEditor handles from the placed native actor. They match its45 public native declarations with six structural component references excluded. Private transient targets are not Details settings. The generic native PropertyEditor framing hides component flag subpanels and groups actual property rows; it changes the view, not the saved values. Actor transform rows remain visible for context. Diagnostics here are saved/editor values, not a claim that capture has already run.

Create a native landmark actor
- Create a Blueprint subclass of RMC Map Marker Actor in your existing game Content and place it at the landmark.
- On its Marker component, set Marker Label, Category, Marker Color and Show On Minimap / Compass / World Map.
- Play with the owning local player and query Get Visible Markers. Use the returned Id and World Location in your UI; the actor does not require a visible mesh.
The saved BP_RMC_BuyerNativeMarker now has clean scoped public read/explicit registration proof and authentic native captures. Automatic local-player BeginPlay/EndPlay and designed UI remain separate coverage gaps.
