So I’m new to UE 4, learning Sound Design within video game engines. I’m trying to attach a Get Root Component for a staticmeshactor, being a door, to add a sound. It’s an example level built for practicing sound design, so the door is already set up bar the sound. I can do most of the blueprint, however when I try to add a Get Root Component, I don’t get the normal node, instead just a very simple one that doesn’t connect properly. I’ll show below what I’m getting. I get this by selecting the actor in the preview window, then right-clicking in the blueprint and typing “Get Root Component”.
I Know I’m doing something stupid but I just don’t know what. Help!
