Component:SimpleAwayIndicator

CollapseComponent image 

SimpleAwayIndicator component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The SimpleAwayIndicator indicates when a user doesn't have the session focused by temporarily replacing the materials of a MeshRenderer with the specified Away Material.

Usually found on the body slot of an avatar (but can be put anywhere in the world), this just needs a reference to the MeshRenderer or SkinnedMeshRenderer components to work.
