Look into sockets. You would create a socket on the actual mesh where you would want your weapon. Then with the attachtocomponent function, there is a optional field where you can tell it to attach to the socket FName if it exists.

The other option is to attach it to the camera if its a first person shooter.

Thanks!
It is indeed a first person shooter, so I will have a go with attaching it to the camera!
But for the sockets, Can I add it to a socket even though i don’t have a mesh for my character?
Or a mesh that would be a capsule or a ball where you don’t have arms or hands to attach it to?
