How to attach an actor to an actor

Development Programming & Scripting

I have created an object from an actor class (using NewObject), and I would like to attach it as a child actor to another actor. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi BramV,

I am curious to find out if you had tried adding a ChildActorComponent to your second Actor. You should then be able to set that component to take the first Actor when you need to attach it. If that doesn’t work for you, could you provide some more specifics about how you need the Actors to be attached together?

Hi BramV,

We have not heard back from you for a while. Do you still need help with this issue? I will be marking this post as resolved for internal tracking purposes. If you still need any additional help, please feel free to add a comment and re-open the post.

I know this is an old question, but I am actually trying to connect two actors together. I am trying to use a USpringArmComponent, is that the correct way to be going about it? I want to maintain a distance from eachother, but have Actor A drag Actor B until detachment.

Thanks!
