First person camera cutscene

I may not be explaining myself clearly. Basically I want to use sequences to animate an object that the player “attaches” to so they move along with it. The purpose is to move the player from one place to another, like up and down a ladder. Originally I planned to move a cinematic camera and just show the clip, but now I think transporting the player is better. The “Set Actor Location and Rotation” was meant to “drag” the player along with the object, but it doesn’t work, the player stays put. The only thing I have working is an “elevator” type transport. There must be some way to drag and lift the player along with the animated object, some type of “attach player to object” followed by “release player from object”.
