    Default Attach Headlight To Vehicle

    This seems like a simple task....how do I attached a spotlight to an animated vehicle?

    I've got a vehicle animating in Matinee....I want to attached a spotlight to dynamically light the scene as it moves.

    I tried grouping the Moveable Spotlight---but the grouping fails on animation
    I've tried Attach To Actor...but doesn't seem to work...not sure what the "IN" connection should be (Maybe I'm doing something wrong there?)

    (The vehicle is in the scene but not interactive with the player)

    In connection is an event or trigger that starts off the process. It can be Player Spawned, Level Loaded, etc.

    Thanks DGX......
    I thought I've tried this a million times....tried it again with the input to Level Loaded, and it's working.
    Much Appreciated!!

    If anyone comes across this.....
    Turns out it was probably working all along....I just couldn't see the light moving in the Editor, so I assumed it wasn't working at all.
    This is related to using something like Level Loaded to trigger the Attach to Actor.

    (I assume there is a better method then this (Attach to Actor)...I shouldn't have to use some trigger method to attach something to an animated object...kinda' lame?)
