Hey there! I was wondering if there was a quick and easy way to disable attachment replication for Actors.  
I would like clients to drive the attachment of specific network objects themselves.

Is this something that is possible?

What worked for me was to override AActor::GatherCurrentMovement and to skip calling Super::GatherCurrentMovement() when the actor is attached
