Can you show your code ? The VFX should not disable since it shouldn’t know that it’s actually attached to a player, you’re only changing its position right ?

Use a blueprint, hide it, have that follow the player and attach the vfx to that.

Here’s a blueprint being moved by verse:

Here’s a tutorial to have something look at a player with verse, you just need to modify the translation and not just rotation:

I’ll do a tutorial on something following a player soon… it’s on the list.
