Can I socket bones together? Like the hands of two players, or a car with steering-wheel and socket the hands to it?

[@Drakuba]

i also think using sockets is more economical than adding that stuff as components. Dont quote me on this, but i remember it being because the item held by socket takes its information, such as world locations and rotation values, among other things, from the bone they are socketed into, instead of generating their own set. And since the skeleton needs those values by default to begin with, you get some extra performance by using sockets Them being modular is also a big + imho

Awesome video, thanks a lot!

Hi, the socket i want to use is scaled correctly but when it appears near skeletal mesh is giant, i checked again and it's dimension and scale is right, do you know how is it possible?

Thank you for sayying you need to reset location transform.

[@Akill107]

is it possible to change socket location during runtime? like switching weapons in the hand from pistol to rifle. I want to change the hand socket location

[@JustAnotherDangHowToChannel]

not sure about runtime, but you can create multiple sockets and assign weapons to particular sockets.
