Yep but it’s far more than just that. I could have said just yes, but that really wouldn’t tell you anything.

I have a skeletal mesh for each weapon, with nothing but a tiny box skinned to all the bones that isnt texture or rendered, I then take the skeleton file and add sockets to every bone i need to have a mesh at. I then modify the physical asset ue4 creates to have no collisions on any bone except for the root bone which i add some boxes that will envelop the meshes when i attach them. All my meshes of the weapon have no collision mesh, i use the collision from the physical asset. I use a blueprint extended from aactor and a scene node as the base root for the bp, i then add in the skeletal mesh. Then i add empty static mesh slots with them attached to the appropriate socket. In the construction script i have it set to randomly select a single mesh from a static mesh array for each part, after each part is selected i set up the material params with stuff like, is it inorganic ? (metals/stones/gems/ect) is it organic ? (wood/ice/ect) choose appropriate base texture(all my base textures have the same mat params) and then i apply them.

that video was like the very first iteration of the weapon system. my current one says get a skeletal mesh from these weapon skeletons array then build them appropriately using the above ideology.

Hope that helps!

Thank you and thank you

Ah very interesting! Sounds like an awesome system.
