Scyclone not 100% sure what your problem could be as there are no screenshots, but i'm guessing your item is not rotated and positioned correctly with it's 'world origin' at 0,0,0 (it's transforms all at zero in other words).
1. A quick UE4 hack that may work for you is to drag the item into a level, any level will do.
2. Set the location to 0, 0, 0 in the Transform section.
3. Make sure the item is rotated correctly, vertical for melee and horizontal for guns.
4. Where ever the pivot point is will be where your character ends up holding the item, so adjust as you see fit.
5. Right click on the item and select Merge Actor
6. Under Mesh Settings make sure the box 'Pivot Point at Zero' is ticked.

Your new static mesh will now have the pivot point set to zero and you should be good to go. This will only work if your items pivot point is at 0, 0, 0 on the level in step 1 when you place it.

Hope that helps.

Heya Mahluus7 , you make a fair point - a picture is worth a thousand words

Essentially, the axe is attaching to the socket - it just looks wierd in terms of rotations and such. I mean that could lead to a very painful circumcision I'd imagine :P.

Would the information above apply to that?

As an unrelated note, I've been working with adding in new stats and such to my items. And I have had 'some' success thus far.

I added in Damage (Objects) to items that are designed for harvesting (Axe/Pickaxe/etc), as well as Constitution. I updated the itemlist, updated all relevant structures that I can think of and from a mechanical standpoint. It does apply the statistics to the item because it is populating into my equipment screen. For the screenshot example, I have put in 2 constitution for the bladed shoulder piece.

I have narrowed down the issue in that it doesn't seem to populate "ItemToolTipInfo" with the data on my item's constitution bonus. I did a test on the visibility (and basically set it always visible) and it returned a blank line [further showing me that the 'BreakToolTipInfo' for Constitution is returning me no value]. Is there some extra step I missed somewhere or something I can do to correct this issue?

Shoot... I came here for the exact same issue. I added a Hunger value, but it keeps returning 0. If I find a solution, I will post here and send you a message.

Okay so I found out where else you needed to hook up your new entries. You need to open the Inventory_Slot, Container_Slot, and Hotbar_Slot and open the Get_ToolTip_Widget function. You should see there where you need to hook things up. Hope that helps.
