Hello, I’m trying to spawn actor from socket on a component. (muzzle of the gun my player is holding). I can’t figure out how to do this. The Machine gun tutorial video uses raytraces from the camera position and the rocket launcher in the downloadable “CE1 Shooter” project uses a strange field labeled “ATT MAX” as the Source location.

What is the proper way to do this?

Also I would really appreciate a discord server for Able, it would be super helpful to be able to talk with other developers using the product with a more active use platform. Even if its something @ didn’t frequent.

Yea, just set that field to ClientAndServer. ATT_MAX is an invalid option that is due to the last update which needed to rename those fields for MacOS compilation.

But, in regard to your question, you can override the Location field on the Spawn Actor task (hit the + button next to the transform) and you can simply get your SelfActor -> Cast it to your Character -> Get your Weapon -> Get the Socket Transform from your weapon and return that.

There is a Discord server someone setup (it’s in this thread), I know both myself and AngelV frequent the UnrealSlackers Discord from time to time.
