Where can I find the socket editor or how to create sockets?

Trying to create sockets to snap weapons or other equipment to a skeletal mesh, but can’t find where to create sockets.

Looks like they’ve simplified it considerably. Open your skeleton asset from the CB, pick a bone and right click to find the option to add a socket.

Fantastic! Thank you so much for the quick response. Feel silly now that I didn’t find it on my own, haha. My next questin then: Where can I find socket snapping? Or how to attach sockets to each other? :stuck_out_tongue:

Also for static meshes, there is still a Socket Manager in the static mesh editor summoned off double clicking a static mesh asset. You’ll probably need to enable it from the Window menu in the static mesh window.

In the Scene Outliner just drag one object into another and you’ll be prompted on where to attach them.

OK, I am trying to figure out how to get this working … When I drag one static mesh onto another in the Scene Outliner, I do not get a prompt as to where to attach them. Also, I am not seeing where I can get to the “Socket Manager” – I double-click a static mesh and it brings up a static mesh editor, and the “sockets” icon is highlighted along the top, but I don’t see a Socket Manager anywhere.

You can also drag meshes from the Content Browser onto a socket or bone to preview that mesh attached in the Persona viewport. That can help with setting up the location and rotation of the socket - which can be done interactively in the viewport using the transform widget (cycle the widget using the spacebar just like the main level viewport).

We will get documentation for all of these things added at some point. Persona is just one of the parts of the editor that has undergone lots of changes recently so the docs are not as good as we would like yet.

Cool! Thank you so much for these great answers guys! Learned a lot! And it makes perfect sense too! :DD

From there you can create socket as you wish
