Power Generator Cables

Using the Splines:Hoses - Ropes - Sci-fi Pack, I wanted to use these to show subtle path finding and visually show that the generator is turned on. The problem I had was that the 4 types of cables each have a corresponding material that can be used to change colours. This way of doing the materials means that I can't do the Set Material Blueprint like with other pieces or a parameter to change the light colour. To get around this I made the colours of 2 cables the same except for the light and went step by step to create an identical copy of the original cable. The lit cable was then moved into the ground and upon collision with the trigger box the unlit cable moves into the ground and the lit moves up above ground.

Cables can be manipulated to go over other objects
