Unreal Engine: dynamic materials on my bricks

Having stronger bricks is common in brick breakers, and Breakout used different colored bricks to show the change in strength to the player:

I want to do the same thing in this prototype for the same reason- its useful as a player to know how many hits a brick has taken so you can predict the path of the ball. To do this I again used dynamic materials along with two variables: Color (float, default value 1.0), and ColorInc (float).

To calculate the value of ColorInc (how much to change the color by), I divided Color by BrickHP:

Then whenever a brick got hit, it created a dynamic material instance that changed the Red value of the brick by (Color - ColorInc):

I also used the value of ColorInc after this equation to change the emissive color of the brick, using the Set Scalar Parameter Value node- it works almost identically to its vector variant:

This is the result (I set myself to level 2 here):

I'm really happy with this result, and its technically infinitely scalable with the levels, although it may get hard to tell the state of the brick at a certain point.
