Grabbing a pawn and dragging it around?

[Everynone]

• as soon as LMB grabs the pawn by the head, store its actor reference from the Hit Results
• for dragging it around, either disable the collision on the pawn or (better) trace on a channel the pawn ignores. Otherwise you’ll be trying to place the pawn on itself - that would explain the way it flies off

Have a look here:

Moving actor using mouse at specific Z at runtime

You will need it sooner rather than later - I’d dig into it right now if I were you. But you can also do this for something truly simplistic: [image] Just make sure the actor does not block Visiblity: [image]

That’s be quite similar. And here’s a thread with some more advanced way to manage it:

Left Mouse button pressed and released equivalent in enhanced input (or drag and drop)

Here’s some script allowing for picking up stuff and moving it in a specific plane only we determine ourselves manually: [image] The green debug plane visualises what’s going on. In short: shoot a beam (trace) from the screen centre towards the projected mouse cursor, when it eventually intersects that plane (which is infinitely large), place the actor at the intersect world coordinate. If I change the normal: [image] You could derive this Normal from the actor itself instead: [imag…
