Attaching an Object to another object?

I am wondering how I would go about attaching one object to another object?

I will give further detail of my plan: I have a static base defence that I would like to spawn an object that will attach to a specific bone on the base defence.
This object will be a dummy object (no visible art), that will carry a couple of 'KindOf' that are needed, but cannot be on the parent 'GameObject' (specifically I am looking for a carrier of the 'BEAM_TARGET_REFLECTOR' so I can get around hard coded issues, specifically that the beam is hard coded to target the base geometry of the object which has the 'BEAM_TARGET_REFLECTOR' KindOf).

It is important that the dummy object is attached to the bone I specify, so I do not think I can use a simple 'SlavedAttachUpdate'.

I know that others have got buildings that can get objects attached to them, any ideas?

AttachUpdate

but as you need a special bone maybe a SpawnBehavior with CombineOnCreate="true" is the right thing for you as you can specify the docking bone in the CombinedInfoModule.

Thanks! I will look into what you have suggested.

Edit: This worked fine, thanks!
