Actor is not reattaching to the mesh custom socketbone

Development Programming & Scripting

i am working on a system to throw and retrieve weapons that are being held, similar to Thor’s hammer or Kratos’s axe throw. When i hit the enemy and recall the axe it attaches to my hand properly and move with the character but when i hit anything other than an enemy like ground etc it returns to my hand initially but then doesn’t inherit the socket’s location/rotation. It stays in place while the character moves.

I have 2 functions ThrowAxe and RecallAxe.
In ThrowAxe , i first detach the axe from the player and if the enemy is hit then attach the axe to the enemy’s hit bone.
In RecallAxe, if enemy is hit then i detach the axe from enemy first and then attach the axe to the character hand otherwise i just attach it to the character hand.

I’m not sure why your recall function would work when an enemy is hit but not when other objects are hit.

However, if you want to try something silly, you could always delete the axe the moment it returns to the player and then spawn a new one on the bone it is supposed to go on. Would something like that work?
