#include "Components/SceneComponent.h"

Description

The base class for all components that have a position, rotation, and scale in the world. Everything that can be placed or moved inherits from this.

Caveats & Gotchas

• USceneComponent itself has no visual representation — it is a pure transform node. Use it as an attachment point or to group other components.
• Use SetupAttachment() in the constructor to attach to a parent component. Use AttachToComponent() at runtime.
• Changing the transform of a parent component moves all attached children automatically.

Example

Use a scene component as a socket attachment point C++

USceneComponent* WeaponPivot = CreateDefaultSubobject<USceneComponent>(TEXT("WeaponPivot"));
WeaponPivot->SetupAttachment(GetMesh(), FName("hand_r"));
