I’ve set up a simple pick up mechanic using a ray cast and physics objects but when I turn the player the object in hand offsets and doesn’t follow my rotation.

Any ideas as to fixing this ?

this is the object when I first pick it up.

and when I rotate, it goes off at an angle

Hi Hraxzy94,

Take a look at this tutorial I created on the Epic Wiki. There is certain math that you need to do in order to keep the object in front of the player.
