Immediate thought: I removed hands to make animation simpler, so it might count as “arm->forearm”
I’m using the forearm’s “end” bone for the IK, but that might not be “enough”.
(also, idk about when you tested it, but the IK works perfectly fine in the ABP for both arms, although that might have nothing to do with this and im just dumb)
Anyway, i’ll try looking for another node, but don’t know much about IK in unreal so dont really know what else to do atm.

Thanks

Seems like I skipped your post, my bad.

If I understood it correctly, your “end” bone is where the hand bone would normally be, so your skeleton is:

arm->forearm->end
which is the same as

arm->forearm->hand
(Epic’s skeleton, just with different names)

So if you’re attaching the gun to the “end” bone (or to a socket on the “end” bone) and replacing the references to “hand_r” with references to “end” in the code, then alignment should be working normally. This way, the “end” bone would already be the IK effector, and that is enough, yes. (Unless I didn’t understand your setup)

In my test the IK worked from hand to forearm, while the upperarm would keep in place. It looked fine, but the gun wouldn’t get to it’s place in front of the camera, because with only hand and forearm moving, it doesn’t have enough reach. That’s why I’m saying it wasn’t a problem with the IK, it was working like it’s supposed to, it was a skeleton problem…
