[MarkusKer]

hello i am struggeling to use the shootable weapon as an melee. i set up the shootable weapon and than added the melee weapon type later on. the components show up but nothing happens if i press B. is there anything else to be set up?

thanks,
markus

Ensure that you have added a second Use ability so the MeleeWeapon can be used. In the demo scene the second Use ability is Use (Slot 0, Action 1)

where can i get the slot and the action ID? i have used the values visible in the attached scripts to the weapon. but the player now cannot shoot anymore and is holding the shootable weapon like if it were not assigned.

slot ID is 0 for right hand and 1 for left hand. Most of the Item defaults can be seen here: https://opsive.com/support/document...r/animation/animator/default-animator-values/.

Enable debug logging on the Animation monitor on the character and you will see the settings set in the console as you press the attack button. the Slot0ItemStateIndex of 7 is usually the melee attack if i recall correct. the debug will usually tell you what is going on.
