I think you could plug it into "spec power" I remember someone earlier today talking about how gloss if for power and spec is for colour/intensity.

Don't plug it directly, it'll look horrible. Use it as a Lerp alpha between your lowest gloss value (black) and the highest (white). I'd suggest something like 5 and 50, but really depends on your asset. Then just plug the Lerp output in SpecPower.

Thanks Laurens. Yep I tried plugging it directly to the specular power and it looked like the asset just came from a grease bath. Thanks for the info.

LinearInterpolate

EDIT: Also 'L + LMB Click' should work IIRC
