i want grab object from the geometry body or from the collision? how can I do that?  
the only way I know is GetActorLocation(),  
I’m new in the C++ cause that it would be great if you write code and some explanation. thanks.

```
PhysicHandle->GrabComponent(
			componenttograb,
			NAME_None,
			componenttograb->GetOwner()->GetActorLocation(),
			true
```

Hello,

Here is a tutorial that allows you to properly grab a component with a physics handle.

Thanks, for the reply, but that wasn’t my question.  
first the link you send is in blueprint and second I wrote the code for garbing items in C++ and its work perfectly , but my problem is players must click on pivot point each object to grab object, I want to know there is any way player can click on any place on surface of object to grab it ?  
this line of the code i wrote ( you can check it on question brief ) componenttograb-\>GetOwner()-\>GetActorLocation(), its sat grab location on pivot point of object .

I have a template I created that does this. [http://katianie.com/SourceCode/Unreal/VRGrabbing.zip](http://katianie.com/SourceCode/Unreal/VRGrabbing.zip)

It allows grabbing of objects on any piece of the object. It also disables physics to allow for good handling but also keeps collision enabled.
