Place an object in a certain place

Hello.

I’m trying to create a blueprint in which after you pick up an object, you have to place it in a certain destination (That destination would have the same shape as the object). Something similar to the crafting system in The Forest, where you have a translucent object in a certain place and you have to bring a similar object to that destination and they snap together.

I’ve only recently started using UE4 so I don’t have much experience. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

… I’d have the translucent version of your pickup actor mesh in your level, surrounded by a trigger volume… combine this into one BP and maybe call it DropboxBP

Every so often (maybe every .5 second, not on tick for performance reasons) your trigger volume checks to see if the the correct PickupBP actor is inside the DropboxBP trigger volume boundary (i.e. if the player has dropped it, or the physics system somehow moved it there using a clever physics puzzle). If this condition is true, then Tinterp or Lerp the vector location and rotation of the PickupBP actor to smoothly match the vector location and rotation of your translucent mesh of DropboxBP

Then you could add a little lighting, twinkling particle effect and play a sound when the PickupBP and DropboxBP align… it would look quite lovely :slight_smile:

Thank you!

I understand what are you saying, but it’s going to take me a while to figure out how to do all of this, especially because this is just a hobby and I also have a full-time job. Thanks again.
