Question Best Method to create a Holster

I'm trying to create a holster. It seems to be something between an XRInteractableObject and XRSocketInteractor.

• Normally, the item is equipped and visible in the holster (socket)
• The player can grab the item from the holster (socket)
• If the player grabs the empty holster, then the item will snap to that interactor (interactable)

What is the best practice for creating a holster using the framework.

 

Hello, I had a similar question yesterday, and I've created a fairly clean solution so far. However I'm not sure it covers your last point.
Can you explain that function a bit further?

Here is what I've created so far. Right now it's just tracking/moving the waist (which the holsters are children of) based on the XR camera position & rotation, but I'm planning to add more positions to be tracked (i.e. over shoulder, chest etc).

Code (CSharp):

1. public class HolsterPositioning : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     [SerializeField] Transform XRCameraTransform;
4.  
5.     [SerializeField] GameObject waist;
6.     [SerializeField] float waistOffsetHeight;
7.  
8.     [SerializeField] float[] lookDownPauseRotationRange = new float[2] { 45, 90 };
9.  
10.     // Update is called once per frame
11.     void Update()
12.     {
13.         if (!CanSeeWaist()) UpdateWaistLocation();
14.     }
15.  
16.     bool CanSeeWaist()
17.     {
18.         if (XRCameraTransform.eulerAngles.x > lookDownPauseRotationRange[0] && XRCameraTransform.eulerAngles.x < lookDownPauseRotationRange[1])
19.         {
20.             return true;
21.         }
22.         else return false;
23.     }
24.  
25.     void UpdateWaistLocation ()
26.     {
27.         // Translate position to match camera X, Y - offset, Z
28.         float newYPosition = Mathf.Clamp(XRCameraTransform.position.y - waistOffsetHeight, 0.1f, XRCameraTransform.position.y);
29.         waist.transform.position = new Vector3(XRCameraTransform.position.x, newYPosition, XRCameraTransform.position.z);
30.         // Rotate to match camera
31.         waist.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(waist.transform.eulerAngles.x, XRCameraTransform.eulerAngles.y, waist.transform.eulerAngles.z);
32.     }
33. }

 

I created XRHips to approximate the hip position.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class XRHips : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     #region Fields
6.  
7.     [SerializeField]
8.     private float m_headOffset = -0.35f;
9.  
10.     [SerializeField]
11.     private Transform m_head;
12.  
13.     #endregion
14.  
15.     #region Methods
16.  
17.     private void LateUpdate()
18.     {
19.         var forward = m_head.forward;
20.  
21.         var modForward = forward;
22.         modForward.y = 0f;
23.         modForward.Normalize();
24.  
25.         var modUp = m_head.up;
26.         if (forward.y > 0f)
27.         {
28.             modUp = -modUp;
29.         }
30.         modUp.y = 0f;
31.         modUp.Normalize();
32.  
33.         var dot = Mathf.Clamp01(Vector3.Dot(modForward, forward));
34.         transform.SetPositionAndRotation(
35.             m_head.position + m_headOffset * Vector3.up,
36.             Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.Lerp(modUp, modForward, dot * dot), Vector3.up));
37.     }
38.  
39.     #endregion
40. }
