Component:AvatarAnchor

Component image

**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.
