Question How can I set the XR Grab Interactable to use grip (select) button instead of trigger (activate?)

    Not sure why Unity is doing this and I may just be dumb but I cannot find a way to swap to the correct button, it is using the trigger to pick up the grab interactable instead of the grip.

    Hey @samvid,
    Depending on which XR Controller you are using, but if you are using the 
    XR Controller (Action-based)
    , you will want to modify the Select Action binding (either using the referenced .inputactions file or the direct binding if you are not using an asset reference).

    If you are using the 
    XR Controller (Device-based)
    , you can change the Select Usage dropdown.

    Is there any way I can do this for a specific interactable only using the action based XR controllers? I'd like to have my backplate be grabbable with the grip button, but if I bind the Select action to gripPressed, all Interactables will respond to the grip button.

    That's what I'm trying to figure out as well.

    Teleporting and grabbing both use the select action to operate and there doesn't seem to be a way to change what action they use to activate.

    If I want to be able to grab and teleport with the same hand using the ready made scripts, it is pretty messed up.
