Attaching a mesh to an VR hand

AugustsOnlySon

So im trying to attach a rigid mesh to the current VR mesh to make it look prettier

(the new mesh im attaching will always stay on.)

The pivots are lined up to were everything looks okay in the viewport, but i haven't managed to figure out how to make it stay.

Do I need to add a function to the skeleton BP?

I added a socket to the root bone and 'added an asset to that'

I've also tried several tutorials about this, but it breaks my animations in-game.

(set static mesh function component) *for instance*

thanks for your help

iirc you can just attach it to a socket on the skeletal mesh in the viewport bit of the character blueprint - you don't need to do it in the construction script although it's probably good practice

It would helpfiguring out why it doesn't work, if you would show your blueprint setup.
