Emulating drag with VR motion controller

So I’ve got this 3D widget in my world, with which I can interact using a WidgetInteractionComponent attached to the motion controller actor. I’m using the press and release pointer key events and it works now to some extent. I can actually set the slider value, but it only changes once I release the button, i.e.: it does not drag.

Anyone who has gotten sliders to work properly in VR?

Thanks people.

EDIT:

I came up with this really hacky, ugly solution to make it work:

I would need to create this for each and every slider though, and in fact it only drags when the laser beam from the WIC is actually inside of the slider
