VR Expansion Plugin

Hi,
I’ve tested the PluginExample scene in order to see how the plugin is used and how to setup actors for what I need.
Unfortunately I notice that I can’t modify the components inside the Characters BP ( Vive Pawn in my case ), since everything is inherited, but I can only add stuff ( which is how the inherited pawn works ).

I order to integrate the plugin/BPs with my project I need to be able to access the inherited data…which I guess is pure C++ code you developed, correct?

Since I need to integrate some stuff ( VR gloves, mocap suit with IK given by the controllers ) and modify some stuff ( controller position in Z and other things ), the best solution would be to do all of that at Event Begin Play, by setting transforms and attach to actor?
Or it is possible to modify the inherited VR Character class with BPs?

Sadly aside from onconstruction and begin play BPs are rather limited in that area (in c++ you can directly override objects classes or remove them from base classes). Controller position in Z shouldn’t ever be required though assuming actual tracking is being used?

Regardless, yes, you can re-attach components however you like in BP or remove them entirely. Its just a little more manual effort.

I had considered removing the motion controllers from being default to the base VRCharacter but I do have some special setup for them (tick ordering and an RPC function pointer) that is more convenient to setup on init in the character than on attachment/controller init. I may do it yet in the future, it will break projects as the component will not be the same is the issue.
