Picking up Objects with Vive beyond just AttachActorToComponent

And a nice one it is too, in fact all of your work is great (I really like your teleport setup).

But if you were referencing my post where I said you couldn’t BP it with late updates I was talking about blocking held item movements and event hits not being BP possible, typical pick up is pretty straight forward with AttachTo. The engine doesn’t movement sweep attached objects (for good reason, it doesn’t make sense most of the time), so you don’t get some of the more outlier pick up interactions (loading a mag into a gun and having it collide if in the incorrect location for example) unless you go Physics constraint and throw out late updates or sweep held objects manually.

Really it would be great if there was an option to sweep attached actors in the engine itself, would open up more utility and wouldn’t break the default usage. I could also lower how many plugins I update every patch.

If it requires the object to be simulating it probably uses a constraint/grab handle, so it would work perfectly for everything but late updates. That style isn’t a deal breaker, there are a lot of interaction schemes where late updates aren’t needed at all (specifically when you don’t show hands it isn’t as jarring).

Yeah I get you, when I was messing with this stuff a while ago I do remember something about sweeping child components but can’t remember if it was you could or couldn’t do it a certain way, so I guess I’ll just take your word for it.

The way mine works is by welding the physics objects to the motion controller component so I believe they should get the late updates this also means that any collision still works as it is just the physics system doing the hit detection.
