The Secret to Realistic Item Interactions in Unreal Engine 5
Add smooth item attachment, first-person and third-person support, and pickups at different heights.
About this tutorial
Upgrade the realistic pickup system with smooth item attachment, first-person and third-person support, and three pickup animations for different object heights. Instead of snapping into the hand, items smoothly move and rotate toward the correct grip point.
In this UE5 tutorial you’ll learn how to:
- Smoothly attach items instead of teleporting them
- Support both first-person and third-person characters
- Switch between first-person and third-person cameras
- Detect low, middle, and high pickup positions
- Select the correct motion-captured pickup animation
- Integrate everything with the existing Control Rig grip system
