I genuinely thought this would be a meme video that goes "just click the add sword button"

You dude, have made an amazing tutorial. I'm glad for all the ue5 resources that we have on youtube. But man, I really wish videos would start like this, then do the rest of the 20 mins. This video is amazing. Thank you!

I will watch this video 8000 times and tell you if this works..good format video

Is there a 20m version? I didn't get about 60% of the words in this.

20 seconds has never been this fast
;P

Wish I saw this earlier. This is basically all I did.

I know the basics, but I needed a tad bit more than this :P Like, what is the output node suppose to be? An objectType? A child reference to an Actor, damn I wish I had your brains lol?

Hi I got a question, how would I fix the gaps between the traces when my animation montage is playing very fast? I implemented the sword collision you showed in the video, but when I use it while playing an animation montage that is very fast, there are large gaps.

Why trace??? Just use collision...easier...and traces add up...and can be expensive...
