Gday i have basic static meshes that i want to attach to cannons and not have to do a bunch of set relative positions to line them up properly, is there any way to move the pivot point of static mesh component within the actor viewport?

There’s some good plug-ins on the marketplace for doing exactly that.

any that you would recommend?

Add a Scene component, and make the static mesh child of this component.
Then you can change the Scene component.

To anyone coming across this later, you can just use the XForm tab in the Modelling Mode to adjust the pivot of any mesh.
