MSSR is a plugin that allows for **automatic snapping of actors** to each other **in game**. **[FAB](https://www.fab.com/listings/a3741e5a-25bd-4433-88b2-b5af56a4170b)** **Useful for:** - In-game building systems: player built houses, furniture, roads, railtracks, racetracks, bases, spaceships, fortifications, … - Puzzle games that require placing or connecting objects in certain way - In game placement and moving of actors in general, like “put book on the shelf”, “put the key into keyhole”, … - …? **[Download example projects / tutorials / playable demos](https://inugames.itch.io/mssr-demos)** Includes playable demos for the tutorial, VR, multiplayer and some more, and project files for all of them. **Videos:** MSSR detailed presentation (project files [available here](https://inugames.itch.io/mssr-demos)) ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/optimized/4X/f/1/e/f1e4a6e24e47a7ff06d4e18beddbfe6b97a6a217_2_690x388.jpeg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/pGbMgd-j35Y?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Super short tutorial: making a builder pawn in 45s! :))) ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/optimized/4X/c/5/1/c5112c6cee18955b8f373edc6efa8a6adf625847_2_690x388.jpeg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/SELOG9mxptQ?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Serious version of the tutorial above. ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/optimized/4X/7/d/6/7d66bb99abb649514541129984b8ca86378f23c3_2_690x388.jpeg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/DSlc6xR_reg?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque How to make MSSR plugin see and snap your meshes. ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/optimized/4X/2/b/a/2ba7ad52c0975c68a1ce458c4de6a2abe88763ef_2_690x388.jpeg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/FK-aSWr6lZA?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Example of use, our entry for UE4 Spring Jam, [download here](https://inugames.itch.io/jishin-construction-ltd) ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/optimized/4X/e/3/d/e3dfcd2bd73820b742a403e9052ae0aa8ce2ba20_2_690x388.jpeg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/FVKYN4t4ZDE?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque More videos: [Video devlog](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP-uPWYCiCCEi1IGOkgCK_OjALl4E9lM8) on youtube. **Features:** - Based on predefined snap points implemented using standard unreal’s sockets (same as the [MSS](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/mss-modular-snap-system-plugin/111555), so also inherits various others MSS features). - Works with static meshes, skeletal meshes or any other type of actor supporting sockets, also works with splines. - Code plugin. Can be used with blueprints or code. - Should integrate with geme’s object placement, movement and selection systems (i.e. how objects are selected, moved by the player in game); also provides example implementation for those. - First person, third person, top view, VR, multiplayer. ---

First implementation! Making some maze-like game using physics handles and MSSR.

Dev Log 1.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2ra5kUH5dI) I just followed a physics handle tutorial and added the snapping. All the snapping is done with just one node: ![Capture.JPG](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/d/3d0122e6999f13fc9feb8e5f5357afdfdafdbd6e.jpeg) ---

> [@NevithGames](#): > > wow!!! When can I buy it at the market place? Soon! Subscribe to this post to receive updates. Dev log #2. Implemented “smooth snap” behaviour. Instead of snapping instantly, it will do a lerp from the old transform to the new one. You can see examples with various rotations and also scale. [![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/d/b/6/db64954f013820e6bd0b53f11a946098ab25381b.jpeg "MSSR Modular Snap System Runtime Plugin for UE4. Dev Log 2.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IZA4CnSNuA) The “SnapActors” node was upgraded, and now it allows for just testing if the snap is possible: ![Capture.JPG](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/b/5b6561eb3f95560d547e2e3aab839fb2eb608412.jpeg) If the snap is possible the “Result” output contains the source and target sockets, corresponding components, and also the array of new actors transforms that the user can then apply or not. In the video I take old and new transforms and smoothly interpolate between them. I’m thinking of putting a playable demo of this level somewhere. ---

Spent most of the time cleaning and organizing stuff. Implemented a “tracking” feature in BPs, once the tile is launched it will track (i.e. try to find snap points around) and attach if one is found, or just fall.

Yep I could use a runtime version. I want to enable my players to outfit their houses with interior walls and this plugin was very helpful when I designed the houses, but for runtime I was about to write my own stuff. If you could make this usable during play that would be extremely helpful to me ---

Thanks! I think it can work in VR, my problem is that I don’t have any VR myself so I can’t tell for sure. If I understand correctly how the VR work, you have a component representing your hand and you move objects with it, right? In that case it’s not different from holding the object with a physics handle, so I think it will work alright. Is there any VR controls emulator you can use with keyboard and mouse? ---
