How to make slash orient to sword direction? [Unreal Engine 5]

[Mkhize]

Cr: Elden Ring, this specific vid

Need to know how can I have the slashes face the sword’s/socket’s orientation in Unreal? Kind of like the video above.

As you can see, they’re almost there in the video above but it’s not fully there.

My approach so far following this solution but, I’m not sure if I followed everything correctly

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Usually you should create the slash and implement that in the animation triggered with notification. Adjust the rotation and position in the anim sequence manually

Alright so I figured it out, you have to set the “Initial Mesh Orientation” to “System” that worked for me!
