GrabbableSystem

GrabbableSystem

class GrabbableSystem : SystemBase
GrabbableSystem is a System that allows for grabbing of objects in the scene. It is responsible for detecting when an object is grabbed and then updating the object’s position and rotation to match the grabber’s position and rotation. It also handles the release of the object when the grabber releases it.
This System comes default with Meta Spatial SDK and operates on entities with Grabbable components. It interacts with Controller components to detect grab inputs and can affect Followable components by disabling them during grabs.
