Simple Pickup & Drop System is a lightweight Blueprint solution for adding object pickup and placement to your Unreal Engine 5 project - no C++ required.

Look at a tagged object, press your chosen interaction key to pick it up, carry it with the player, and press the same key again to place it on a valid surface.

The system checks the target area before placement and prevents objects from being dropped into blocked space.
