pinball launcher

Hi all,

in my pinball blueprint i added a static mesh component which i’d like to move via c++ while keeping the native UE4 physics (after colliding with the launcher, the ball collides with collision boxes components and has gravity on).

Is it better to use a child actor instead of a static mesh actor as the pinball launcher ?
