Im trying to create a sidescroller and the first thing i needed was ofcourse a piece of block that could be moved and dragged for puzzles and still have physics enabled.
I managed to restrain the physics with “Physics Contraint” so the box was pushable correctly but its gonna be a problem when it eventually hits a wall and there is no way to pull it back.
Later on i tried to add a physics handle so i could grab the handles but all the answers for that were for first person and the more i work with it the more problems comes up with the blueprints.
A physics handle is what you’re going to want to use in this case. You’ll need a certain event or keystroke to determine whether to attach a physics handle, and a tick to update it.
An example would be having your character press ‘E’ near a box. You’d handle the event by creating a physics handle between the sidescroller character and the box, and then you’d update the physics handle as a means of moving the box.
Here’s an example of how you would update the physics handle: This keeps the box in front of the character. So if you take this and implement this for your sidescroller, when you move backwards, the box slides backward as well and the same logic for pushing forward. https://wiki.unrealengine.com/File:PhysicsHandle02.JPG
