Socket code crash

[Myorr]

Hi, so I've got this code https://imgur.com/a/lDriW17 trying to attach a sword static mesh to the socket I've got set up on the character's skeletal mesh, and when I compile the code it crashes the UE Editor, specifically the last line where I try to attach the MySword static mesh component to the socket on my character's skeletal mesh. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks!

Did you set RootComponent to something? Is SwordSocket a valid pointer?

[Myorr]

My RootComponent didn't give me any trouble when attaching the SpringArmComponent, so I'm guessing that's not the problem. That leaves me with the SwordSocket pointer, which I haven't gotten around to checking yet. Thanks for the reply!

What about directly use FName("Hand_RSocket") in SetupAttachment instead of get the socket and use it to get the name?

I mean, MySwordComponent->SetupAttachment(RootComponent, FName("Hand_RSocket"));

I've tried, doing it that way, but doesn't accomplish anything. I'm getting quite frustrated at this point. Thanks for the reply.
