how to attach BP to skeletal mesh socket

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

BPs are not attaching to socket the usual way we attach a static mesh in skeletal mesh editor…so is there any other way to do that

2

You just have to attach the root component to your socket in the bp of the actor that you want to attach. e.g In my case I have created a sword (mesh, volume, sound as a root) - now I just added a attach to component node with the player as parent and the sound, mesh, volume as an attachment. Now add your socket name + choose snap to target and then it should work :slight_smile:

But it’s not possible to see the preview of a BP in the skeletal mesh editor!

i follow this but i still have a prob the blueprint just disappear instead of attaching to the place where the socket is

…EDIT…

ok its not disappearing but become so huge and floating far away from me…so how mi gona change its size i thought when i place it in world and size it, that will be its final size and it will attach to me at that size

Is the origin of your root component right + add a mesh to that socket in the skeletal mesh editor and then adjust the position of the socket (?v=-)?

Edit:

Ok, you have to scale it in your bp -> just tried it out with my sword :slight_smile:
