Save grabbed object rotation

[Slydex44]

This is not a question mostly it’s a little guide.

Last couple days I was trying to make grabbed object with physics handle save it’s grabbed rotation and rotate relatively player. So I tried to find solution and found only unanswered questions about this issue.
I made it and I want to share it with all. It’s very and very simple solution.

So I’ve created “box collider” inside player controller and when I pick an object, box collider is copying picked object rotation on itself and then I apply rotation of box collider to handle rotation.
This video demonstrates how it works - Save grabbed object rotation - Unreal Engine 4 - YouTube

And screehshots of blueprint (“Rotation Holder” = box collider):

I hope someone will find it useful.

Also I wonder is there other ways to do it without “rotation holder”?

I love you XD I’ve been trying to solve this for 4 days, Instead of a collider I’m using a child actor, but it works anyway. Also I reccoment to use Hit Component instead of Hit Actor as there might be issues with composed actors
