[@Nosferatu_tqegaming]

how do I cast a bp, or bp interface, or use a bp actor on my mesh? is this the method? I cant add a BP directly to my 3rd person character, I tried to add it via the 3rd person bp but idk looking for help. Thanks :)

[@UnrealART]

hello I hope you are doing well . this video is not about casting . it's just about using sockets. you can watch some tutorials about casting and event dispatchers and you can find the answer

[@VideoMonk.]

Hey Thank you! I found the socket in the skeletal mesh, but I don't have BP on my character because I imported it from CC4. Do I need to create a blueprint for him? How can we do? Thanks a lot I am a UE5 noob sorry!

[@UnrealART]

You are very welcome. Yes you need to create a blueprint and use the skeletal mesh inside it . don't be sorry , all of us are noobs ! Lol

bro he just straight up shot him LOL nice tutorial!

[@UnrealART]

haha , thanks man

[@DoraKage]

SHORT and SWEET - beautiful. So the socket itself is just an anchor point node of sorts. I'm guessing it could be a good idea - to have a dedicated bone in the skeleton for sockets to be assigned to. Then animators will have the ability to control attachments by animating this bone in their DCC 🤔

[@UnrealART]

glad you liked the video . Yeah it's a good idea. makes things easier 👌

[@creatorediillusioni]

where is the rest of the video??? how to attached make it appear disappear??

[@UnrealART]

that would be another topic. are you looking for a weapon switch system or something like that ?

[@creatorediillusioni]

@@UnrealART that could also be great to have in a video but make it a full tutorial

[@sadroom]

Continue bro, and Raju teach us how to pick things up from the ground and put them in the hand

[@UnrealART]

of course , I will make a tutorial with that topic as soon as I find the time

[@de_vastator1047]

I'm just add animated character (non-playable) to scene and there is no "Soсket" option between "Transform" and "Static mesh" menues so I can't use my sockets for parenting.

[@UnrealART]

please email me a screenshot so I can look into it
