UAudioComponent::AutoAttachParent

property Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Components/AudioComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTYVisibleInstanceOnlyBlueprintReadWrite

Description

The component this audio component automatically attaches to when activated, if bAutoManageAttachment is true.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only takes effect when bAutoManageAttachment is enabled — setting this alone with auto-management off has no effect on attachment.
• If left null while bAutoManageAttachment is true, the component keeps its current AttachParent and defers attachment until it is activated, rather than detaching.

Signature

Example

Auto-attach to a socket on activation C++
