Documentation: Video link above has detailed instructions. Blueprint code is all commented


Important/Additional Notes:

-The auto-aligning method depends on code present in the included character, gun and anim blueprints. It also depends on Epic's SK_Mannequin or SK_Mannequin_Arms skeletons

-Gun must be attached to any socket belonging to the hand_r bone

-The example hand_r socket provided fits the example gun provided (currently faces +X axis). When using your own gun, hitting the aim down sights button will still align no matter how misaligned this socket is to your gun. But you still should tweak this socket to your own gun for when not aiming down sights.

-Camera must be within reach of the arms for the alignment to work.
