this is exactly what im looking for. would love to use ue4 for my project but I need to use 2d sprites in a 3d collision environment. without a lot of flipbook animations going on. if any one has the downlow on how to do this but until something comes my way im having to learn c++.

your requirements sound similar to those of the game from Cardboard Sword. You might want to check out some of their dev logs to check how they’re doing it.
