hi thanks ill make these changes. it would make things so much simpler.
however the arrow still doesnt move with the animation. it seems that it might be because the character is being attached to the arrow so in the world outliner its arrow → thirdpersoncharacter. This seems to be because im attaching the objects the wrong way however im having issues swapping the target and parent in attach to around. its because i need a scene component reference and i have an actor.
