VR Mesh Socket Snapping Blueprint
polycounter lvl 5
Hey fellow Polycounters!
I am trying to create a snapping mechanic in VR, utilizing sockets placed on various meshes.
Getting the meshes to snap to a position isn't that big of a deal and works well, but getting the socket positions is were I struggle a lot.
To set it up I created Blueprints for each Part (Since its in VR and each Part should be grabbable and snap upon release if a socket is near enough)
containing the mesh with the placed sockets and the Event Graph of the Pickup Cube from the starter content.
To get things working I set up the Blueprint to Print the name of the nearest socket as well as a list of all found Actors with Sockets (I tagged them).
But I can't get the Blueprint to find all Actors with the Tag "HasSockets" in the scene. I know it only refers to the BP itself, but how can I get all actors of the whole scene?
Or is there a better way to approach this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Miron

If that isn't flexible enough, you can use an interface to get available snap points from near by actors, but that's a little more involved.
