VR Expansion Plugin

Grippable actor is just for that case yes, however if you are going to be multiplayer at some point you may want to have two separate bases, one based on skeletal mesh and one based on static, as the engines replication does not actually handle some of the mesh stuff when just adding the components to a base actor instead of using the built actor for each of them.

In singleplayer it wouldn’t really matter ever.

You might want to check out the tutorial video that a community member made off of my “basic gripping” text overview.

Also if you want a specific version of the engine on one of the repositories, you can go to downloads and switch to branches and download the locked version of your specific engine version: https://bitbucket.org//vre…/?tab=branches

Keep in mind as well that the OnGrip event is going to fire on the root in that case, component gripping has precedence as it lets you grip child components in an actor. The parent actor would be receiving OnChildGripped with that setup. There is generally no reason to ever have both the root and the actor itself be a grippable class. You would generally have the root be normal, and then sub components can be additionally grippable over it.

Ah man. Thank you for sharing that video and the info on the build specific downloads. I searched all around for something like and couldn’t find it. I’m going to suggest that fellow that he rename the video from VREP to VR Expansion Plugin (or at least add that to the name) to help others find it more easily. I intend to support you shortly! I did get the VR character working nicely with locomotion and a little bit of animation including crouching and proning (not sure about the replication working yet).
