Hi.

I want spawn a bullet(projectile) in a socket place . but it doesent happen and it spawn in different position near the socket ( may near the skeletal mesh).

void APlayerCharacter::Fire()
{
	if (bulletClass != NULL)
	{
		FVector spawnLocation;
		FRotator spawnRotation;
		firstPersonSkeletalMesh->GetSocketWorldLocationAndRotation("FirePlaceSocket", spawnLocation, spawnRotation);
		UWorld* world = GetWorld();
		ABullet* bullet = world->SpawnActor<ABullet>(bulletClass, spawnLocation, spawnRotation);	
	}
	firstPersonSkeletalMesh->PlayAnimation(fireAnimation, false);
}

It have problem ?
I put a socket in front of weapon;
thanks

Have you tested if the socket is in the right position? You can add the
projectile to the Socket in the Mesh Editor (where you created the socket).
Maybe it’s a bit offset.

yes. can put a picture from it in first post now

const FRotator SpawnRotation = FRotationMatrix::MakeFromX(Location - Weapon->GetSocketLocation(FName(TEXT(“MuzzleFlashSocket”)))).Rotator();
const FVector SpawnLocation = Weapon->GetSocketLocation(FName(TEXT(“MuzzleFlashSocket”)));
UWorld* const World = GetWorld();
if (World != NULL)
{
World->SpawnActor(ProjectileClass, SpawnLocation, SpawnRotation);
}

I am calculating rotation form hit point location (Line Trace) - socket rotation. Alwsa if u wanna add smth to socket u should use deffered atachment:

Flashlight = PCIP.CreateDefaultSubobject<USpotLightComponent>(this, TEXT("FlashLight"));
	Flashlight->AttachParent = Weapon;
	Flashlight->AttachSocketName = FName(TEXT("MuzzleFlashSocket"));

Alwso your are spawnning bullet which has collsion on itself so probably that cause your bullet to sapwn next to weapon. U can adapt it to your needs.
