Whats the best way to make an actor pick up and put down objects? Is there any way to temporarily make an object a “child” of my character and then “detach” it in the middle of the animation?

If you don’t need IK from the object to the actor, constrain object to actor, and, increase constraints to 100%, to pick up object and decrease to 0% to let go. If you want the object’s movements to cause the actor to move, you can constrain the actor to the object, again use 0%-100%-0% at appropriate frames. Or you can have twin actors, one with the object as a child, and one with the object separate, and swap the twins at the appropriate frames I hope this helps.
