Component:AvatarAnchor

AvatarAnchor component as seen in the Scene Inspector

An anchor allows for an avatar to be attached to a slot. This component can also allow for pinning of a user's limb(s) for posing, and is most commonly used as a seat.

Usage

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled.
Highlight	Bool	Whether a user is pointing at this anchor and it is possible for them to activate the enter dialogue by pressing Primary at this moment.
ParentSpace	direct RootSpace	The coordinate space in which to work with the avatar.
MinScale	Float	If an avatar has a scale below the MinScale, it will be scaled up to that size.
MaxScale	Float	If an avatar has a scale above the MaxScale, it will be scaled down to that size.
PositionNode	UserNode	Which part of the avatar to use to position the avatar.
PositionReference	Slot	Where to position the avatar to.
RotationNode	UserNode	Which part of the avatar to use to rotate the avatar.
RotationReference	Slot	Where to rotate the avatar to.
PreserveUpOnEnter	Bool	Whether to keep the user's root slot's up direction pointing the same direction it was in global space before entering, or to align them to the up of the slot of the anchor. This is disabled when RotationNode and RotationReference are set to not none.
PreserveUpOnExit	Bool	Whether to keep the user's root slot's up direction pointing the same direction it was in global space before exiting, or to align them to the up of the slot they get parented back under. This is disabled when TransformRestoreMode and RestoreNode are set to not none.
UnparentEverythingOnDestroy	Bool	Unparent all slots under ParentSpace's Space slot and parent them under the parent of the nearest ObjectRoot (doesn't need an explicit ObjectRoot component). If ParentSpace's Space slot is null, or the ObjectRoot parent is null, then all children are deleted anyway.
TransformRestoreMode	RestoreMode	What slot or space to use when setting the user's transforms to what they were before they entered the anchor.
RestoreNode	UserNode	The part of the user's avatar that the transforms should be changed to _originalPosition, _originalRotation, and _originalScale when the user exits the anchor. Which space the transforms refer to (aka what it would be parented to) depends on what TransformRestoreMode is set to.
RestoreReference	Slot	This will be used from when TransformRestoreMode is set to "Reference". The specified RestoreNode's transform will be set to this slot's space using _originalPosition, _originalRotation, and _originalScale.
Filters	list of BodyNodeFilters	A list of pose filters to use. Each one can control the position, rotation, and/or speed of a specific body node
UserFilters	list of IAvatarAnchorUserFilter	Nothing currently implements IAvatarAnchorUserFilter so this currently does nothing.
UserAnchored	AvatarAnchorUserEvent	Internal
UserStay	AvatarAnchorUserEvent	Internal
UserReleased	AvatarAnchorUserEvent	Internal
_originalSpace	Slot	Internal
_originalPosition	Float3	Internal
_originalRotation	FloatQ	Internal
_originalScale	Float	Internal
_dummyObjectSlots	list of AvatarObjectSlot	Internal

BodyNodeFilters

Fields

Name	Type	Description
Node	BodyNode	The node on the anchored user to apply filters to.
Required	Bool	Whether full body users can override this node and move the body part anyway.
Filters	list of PoseFilter	The list of filters that should be applied to Node when the user is anchored.

PoseFilter

Fields

Name	Type	Description
Filter	IAvatarPoseFilter	Any Pose Filter can be used here to be applied to a body node.
Priority	Int	Whether to apply the pose filter before another pose filter.

Behavior

By itself, an AvatarAnchor does nothing. It requires either an AvatarAnchorTouchTrigger component or a Anchor User ProtoFlux node to place an avatar into it.

To exit an anchor, a AvatarAnchorLocomotionRelease component or a Release User ProtoFlux node needs to be used.

Examples

Chairs, cars, planes, etc.
