Instantaneous Attach Transforms not lining up correctly

I seem to be having an issue when setting an XR Grab Interactable to Instantaneous. The Attach Transform seems to get messed up and turns into some sort of middle ground between the object and the selected attach transform or something...

Any idea why this is or how to fix it?

 

Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm facing it as well.

Edit: I was able to solve it by fixing the setting the origin to geometry in Blender for the model. Object > Set Origin > Set Origin to Geometry

 

I'm seeing this problem as well. It could be a bug. I don't think we should be required to change the model's Origin. After all, it works fine when the Movement Type is Kinematic (but with Kinematic the object being grabbed seems to wobble a bit---it doesn't feel good).

 

Bumping as still seeing this issue with latest XR Interaction Toolkit.

 

@redcurry79 It definitely looks like a minor bug to me. Just an oversight I think, the below lines where not change after adding the movementType feature most likely?

So looking at XRGrabInteractable.cs in
UpdateInteractorLocalPose() line 603:

Code (CSharp):

1. var attachOffset = m_Rigidbody.worldCenterOfMass - attachPosition;

the Rigidbody.worldCenterOfMass is used. Obviously if the movementType of a grabbable object is set to Instantaneous, the Rigidbody is disabled while the interaction takes place.

I could be barking up the wrong tree as I'm new to the XR Interaction Toolkit and Unity XR AND VR development in general but I'd think something like this should work:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (m_CurrentMovementType == MovementType.Instantaneous)
2. {
3.     attachOffset = m_TargetWorldPosition - attachPosition;
4. }

Immediatley after the previous line where attachOffset var was declared. I can't test it since whenever you hit run in Unity Editor, the script is reloaded/reset so no changes to the XRITK scripts work at runtime.

 

I found a solution for this that works for me!

Make a new C# script with the following code and use it instead of the usual XRGrabInteractable.cs component.

Just be sure to set Movement Type field to Instantaneous and add the Attach Transform.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit;
3.  
4. public class XRGrabInteractableFixedAttachTransform : XRGrabInteractable
5. {
6.     private bool isGrabbed = false;
7.     protected override void OnSelectEntered(SelectEnterEventArgs args)
8.     {
9.         isGrabbed = true;
10.         base.OnSelectEntered(args);
11.     }
12.  
13.     protected override void OnSelectExited(SelectExitEventArgs args)
14.     {
15.         isGrabbed = false;
16.         base.OnSelectExited(args);
17.     }
18.  
19.     public override void ProcessInteractable(XRInteractionUpdateOrder.UpdatePhase updatePhase)
20.     {
21.         base.ProcessInteractable(updatePhase);
22.  
23.         if (isGrabbed && movementType == MovementType.Instantaneous)
24.         {
25.             var attachOffset = transform.position - attachTransform.position;
26.             transform.position = selectingInteractor.transform.position + attachOffset;
27.             transform.rotation = Quaternion.Inverse(Quaternion.Inverse(transform.rotation) * attachTransform.rotation * Quaternion.Inverse(selectingInteractor.transform.rotation));
28.         }
29.     }
30. }

This fix works with:
XR Interaction Toolkit 1.0.0-pre.3

It may not work with earlier versions due to renaming of the OnSelectEntered & OnSelectExited methods but it's just a matter of using the correct names for earlier version of the XRITK.
