How to get relative location of Static Mesh Socket when Component is not root

[SocietalBystande]

I want to get the Y axis location of the Socket of a Static Mesh during construction while the Static Mesh is not the root.

I want this number: 2.5

Notice Hierarchy:

Ive tried all transform space types. but I keep getting -4.5 or some other number.

Ive even tried inverse transform from the root.

What is the solution here?

Hey @SocietalBystande !

First make absolutely sure the Socket Transform name is EXACTLY the same.

After that, give this a shot! Looks like they were trying to do the same thing just a little more complicated with Arrays. Let us know if that works out for you! If not we’ll try something different.

This actually doesn’t work directly with HISMs. I’ll post my answer that I figured out but you actually have to get the parent instance transform then add that to the socket transform to get the actual local transform in world.
