Thank you for the answer, First, I am not a programmer, I am just trying to learn this to do what I been asked to do 😛 Second, I understand what you are saying but I don't know how to do it practically.

Start with not having the snapping.
Have an event for grabbing, another for ungrabbing, and on tick, update the position of the grabbed thing

#

How are you doing this grab anyway, physics handle or do you want to just literally set the position of the grabbed thing

#

I am starting from the Unreal template, in there there is an Grab component already

#

so I create a blueprint object and just add the Grab component, then just change to movable and then the VR controller can grab that object

#

Chat GPT recomended to do the code I posted, inside the VR Pawn

#

so any object that is grabbable and has the Tag 'relocate' can function

#

so I can grab objects

#

then when letting go the grab button the object stay in place, floating whatever I unpressed the button

Start with making sure you understand what is going on in your current code

#

every bit

#

without sound rude, but isn't that my issue. I am learning so there is a processes and know all the tools I can use. I don't have that yet

#

I know that I need to call all object that I need to work with, then filterthem out to what specific characteristic I need then apply my function

#

how to put that in code, that's the issue,

#

If I do a call to all object, I get an array, but then I need a single object from that array, how can i filter with some specific characteristic? I can use an Branch but

#

how do I create the condition

copper pelican I know that I need to call all object that I need to work with, then filterthem ...

That should already be handled at the grabbing bit

#

you only want to move the grabbed object right?

#

Show the bit of code that grabs an object

copper pelican If I do a call to all object, I get an array, but then I need a single object fr...

your filter is that the thing is the one grabbed object.
Just move the grabbed object, not all objects with tag

#

that's from the template

#

So this is all implemented in the thing being grabbed, not in the grabber?

#

This is a rediculous architecture lol

#

Might not be 100% rediculous but it's kinda goofy. It appears that the snapping they have there is to snap the thing to the motion controller

#

This whole setup is based on attaching

#

NOT on just setting world position

#

no, this is a separated blueprint class, called Grab component

#

don't kill the messager, as I said I started from the Game VR template
