So I have an ability that fires a beam using the Void Ray Attack Beam and I want it to be yellow. When I use the actor event set tint color to tint it yellow, because the beam is blue by default I end up with a green beam.
You need to combine texture swapping and setting the tint colour. Since beams act as a strong light source they take a lot of manipulation to get right.
Use the Texture Select By Id method to change the base texture to one of the other beam colours (there is a whole rainbow that comes with the default dependencies).
Just got around to looking into this. I went to the Texture Select by Id method under the event tabs of the actor and there is not an obvious replacement texture for the Void Ray beam texture nor does it give me the option to change the color of the texture.

The tutorial you linked is incredibly outdated.

ModeratorsIt is still good. Ok the cutsecenes editor is now used to view the textures but otherwise everything is the same.
