Hi all, I was wondering if it were possible to change the item that pops into a players 'hand' when they press 'Q' while mousing over an entity? I ask as my mod discreetly replaced certain entities when certain technologies are researched, but when a player presses 'Q' or copies them via a blueprint, they get a different reference

Ok, that works for the player, but is there any way to get it to work for blueprints?

Well now, that did the trick quite nicely! Thanks
