I’m working with a plugin that’s detecting SelectionChanged events, but I need to track when a user attaches one actor to another in the editor. This is via right-click Context Menu \> Attach To… I can’t seem to find anything in the documentation. Is there a Menu Event, or an Actor event I could tie into to detect when this happens?

Thank you!

Hello! One - you can use override **OnAttachmentChanged** method of **USceneComponent**. The other one - **FLevelActorAttachedEvent** with getter **OnLevelActorAttached()** of **UEngine**.
