Distance Grab objects without pointer

SmartCarrion

Hi, my game uses fast-paced distance grabbing, like Robo Recall did. What's a good way to implement this? When i try Follow Rigidbody & Precision Point, using a large cone collider on your hand, the object just attaches to your hand but stays far away. I want it to smoothly animate into your hand, maintaining orientation. This likely needs a raycast to the object to get the right point on its surface, and then use that to set the position of the collision point. I'm just not sure how to do that with VRTK v4 components. Thanks for any help!

Cant you just lerp the position to your hand once you have grabbed it?

Yeah that might work, thanks for the thought. I could just add my own script on top, grab hold of that collision point, and lerp it to zero plus the depth of the object. I was hoping to use a VRTK component to avoid weird edge error cases, but maybe I should just fall back on my coding skills. I found the 'SurfaceLocator' component yesterday and was trying to figure out how to link that in, but it all still looks like soup.
