View source for Making an Attachable Prop

[[ChilloutVR]] props are useful, but sometimes you want to attach them to your avatar for some reason.  A simple example that this tutorial will use is a hat that one wants attached to your avatar's head.

{{CVRStatus}}

== Prerequisites ==

* Knowledge on how to manipulate GameObjects in the Scene Hierarchy
* Knowledge on how to manipulate Components in a GameObject
* Knowledge on how to make a basic prop.
* Knowledge on how to make Interactable Props.

== Creating a Simple Attachable Prop ==

# Make a simple cube primitive in the scene.  This will be our hat.
# Make the cube a prop.
# Add a ''CVR Attachment'' component to the cube.
# Set the ''Attachment Type'' to ''Bone''.
# Set ''Bone Type'' to ''Head''.
# Set ''Max Attachment Distance'' to something like 0.5. If you drop the attachable within this radius, it'll attach to the bone/tracker.

== Making it Actually Work ==
The Attachable needs to know when to activate and deactivate. So, we'll use a simple Interaction.

First, tell it to disconnect when grabbed:

# Create a trigger for ''On Grab''.
# Make the ''Broadcast Type'' ''Local Not Networked''.
# Add a ''Method Call'' action to On Grab.
# Select ''Runtime Only'' in the first dropdown.
# Select ''CVRAttachment.DeAttach'' in the second dropdown.
# Drag and drop the GameObject containing the CVR Attachable component into the third box.

Now to tell it to try to attach when dropped:

# Create a trigger for ''On Drop''
# Make the ''Broadcast Type'': ''Local Not Networked''.
# Add a ''Method Call'' action.
# Select ''Runtime Only'' in the first dropdown.
# Select ''CVRAttachment.Attach'' in the second dropdown.
# Drag and drop the GameObject containing the CVR Attachable component into the third box.

You're done!
