Scaling doesn't work correctly for attached actors when child is rotated and parent has non-uniform scaling

Hi,

It seems that rather than a bug, this is moreso a limitation as shown in the following threads:

Since this is a feature request I reassigned the case to Epic so they can consider it and provide more insight on this.

As a workaround in the meantime:

1.) You can try merging the meshes: select all meshes you want to scale then use the modeling mode > Xform > Merge and then it becomes one mesh that scales properly.

2.) A bit more of a hassle, but removing the child and adjusting as needed before reattaching to the parent.

Regards
