Feature Request Control XRGrabInteractable TargetLocalScale

I am trying to create an XRPocketInteractor, similar to the pockets in Half-Life Alyx. However, when an XRGrabInteractable is grabbed it stored a target local scale and forces a scale when tracking. This prevents me from tweening the scale as it enters the pocket. I tried tweening that attach point, but as the socketed interactable is not a child it, the interactable does not scale.

With that said, I would like the ability to have an Interactor modifies the selected interactable's target scale. I would imagine an API like

Code (CSharp):

1. float selectedInteractableScaleOverride

that the XRGrabInteractable would query.

 

I have exactly the same issue. Also if you try to use scale affordance system, to scale object when it's entering socket interactor, it snaps back to original scale. This doesn't make much sense.

 

To solve this issue I created a grab transformer which will drive the scale of an object to any desired value while the object is being interacted with.

1. Create a grab transformer inheriting from XRBaseGrabTransformer

2. Copy the following methods and code from XRSingleGrabFreeTransformer.cs

public override void Process(XRGrabInteractable grabInteractable, XRInteractionUpdateOrder.UpdatePhase updatePhase, ref Pose targetPose, ref Vector3 localScale)

And

UpdateTarget(XRGrabInteractable grabInteractable, ref Pose targetPose, ref Vector3 localScale)

3. Implement your own code to scale the object in an OnGrab override - you can check the grabInteractable in here to see which type of interactor (socket or hand) is selecting it, and apply whatever scale you want to the localScale variable in UpdateTarget()

public override void OnGrab(XRGrabInteractable grabInteractable)

 

changing the m_Target localScale from private to public or protected could solve the problem. Or a regular Boolean variable that turned on/off the record transform.localScale = m_Target localScale; And in the end you have to write crutches
