Awesome tutorial, I see this as an awesome way to display a characters name and health over their head for a multiplayer game. Is there a way to bind this to a player’s head? Create a socket maybe? Or is there a better way to accomplish this? ---

Yes! You can easily attach this to any actor. A socket would be a good way! Let me know if you need help setting that up!
