Hi, i'm beginner in UDK. I have created working custom vehicle with my UTVehicleWeapon class. I know how to add static mesh of weapon to vehicle but then i can't add muzzle flash ps because there are no sockets in weapon. I can use diferent skeleton mesh of vehicle with turret but i want to be able to change vehicle's weapon. So my question is how can i create VehicleWeapon class with SkeletonMesh ? :)

First, of all, I have no idea what you are trying to say in the second half of your statement because it just doesn't make sense, so I'm just going to guess.
Add a socket to the weapon you are trying to a muzzle flash too and in the code link the muzzle flash particle effect (or w/e you are using) to this socket.

you mean something like adding the link gun for example?
im not sure how exactly but you can add skelital meshs together using sockets
have a look at how its done with the player character and the weapons
WeaponSocket or something
