What is Component Property? (Cable)

Slavq · February 24, 2019, 11:46pm

The Set Attach End To function description says that it attaches it to a specific Component within an Actor:

… But how to specify this component? I’ve tried to type in name of component in the Component Property field, but that doesn’t work.

It does work, can you show an example where it does not:

I’m not on my PC right now, but I tried to attach it to another (external) actor. So e.g. in blueprint A have Cable Component, call SetAttachEndTo with Actor == blueprint B reference, and Component Property == name of component inside blueprint B. It was a Capsule Collision in my case.
I’ll try to reproduce this when I’m back, thanks!

call SetAttachEndTo with Actor ==
blueprint B reference, and Component
Property == name of component inside
blueprint B

Should work as you described. Providing the Target on the node is the cable component and Actor is the actor owning a component we’re attaching the cable’s end to.

Ok, I’ve tried to reproduce this and now it worked correctly. No idea why it didn’t work then, maybe some of my other scripts were interfering… So, false alarm, it all works correctly. Thank you for checking that!

I confirm it does not work at all

I created this post to demonstrate it
