Hi Unreal Expert,

I have been following some tutorial for snapping object to other object in VR, for example like this one,

[How to make simple VR puzzle in Unreal engine tutorial - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djyYVvTCAJI)

It seems that it is not working for unreal 5.1 with the “GrabComponent”.  
Is there anyway to do it in Unreal 5.1?

I have been searching around internet but I did not find anything for unreal 5. That is why I post this question here.

Thank you in advance! 😀

Hi Rick,

The video that you linked is using the old VR Template. In 4.27 an entirely new VR Template was introduced.

One idea would be to install UE 4.26, Create a VR Template Project, then open that project in UE5.

Another option would be to try and [grok](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C98Dyx8h-H0) the grabbing system in the new template.

Hope that helps! If it does help, everyone must refer to me as ‘Unreal Expert’ henceforth! 🤓 🕶

Thank you for the link. I will try to watch it maybe I will find something from it.

From the video I can see that there is “On Dropped” command. But then I tried to put it in some position, then it is not working 😅

Even put in the original position did not work. It is like you pick up the object, when you “On Dropped” it I put "Attach Actor To Component but not working

Solved this! Here is how I got a clean VR snap-to-zone mechanic working using the standard VR Template’s `GrabComponent`:

- **Trigger on Drop:** In `BP_Cube`’s Event Graph, I hooked the `On Dropped` event from `BP_GrabComponent` into a custom `TrySnapToZone` function.
- **Check Overlap & Snap:** Inside `TrySnapToZone`, it uses `Get Overlapping Actors` (filtered to `BP_Table`), checks if the cube is overlapping the table’s `SnapPoint` collision box, disables physics, and sets the cube’s world location and rotation to match the `SnapPoint`.
- **Quick Tip if Reusing This:** If you duplicate this logic and change the `Class Filter` dropdown on `Get Overlapping Actors` to a different Blueprint, make sure to disconnect the `For Each Loop` array pin and **Refresh Nodes** (or replace the loop node)—otherwise Unreal will cache the old actor type and throw a compiler error. You also don’t need a `Cast To` node since the class filter already outputs the exact actor reference.

Screenshots of my `BP_Cube` Event Graph, `TrySnapToZone` function, and `BP_Table` setup are attached below!
