Merge custom VFX on Weapons that already have a VFX

Hey there,

i seem to be a little bit lost and wonder if this is even possible.

I got a custom VFX that i'd want to show only if a weapon is not sheated.

I tried the instructions provided in the Weapon VFX Merging Problem issue linked in the guide and after importing my timeline and moving everything from the importet timeline to timeline 0 the new vfx seems to be working if i spawn it on myself.

Drawing the actual weapon however just shows the basic vfx and not the edited things.

So i guess i am either missing some crucial steps or this just wont work because of technical limitations?
