Reacting to what's in the XR Socket

Unity Engine

I am trying to create a puzzle where depending on what object you place on a pedestal the environment changes. I have all of the code working for moving the objects the only thing I can’t get working is to find the object that is in the XR Socket Interactor.

Does anyone know the code or a method to assign the object in the XR Socket to a GameObject so I can pass it to my scripts to process?

You can get the selectTarget property of Socket Interactor to see which Interactable object is currently grabbed by it.

Thank you for the advice. I’ve had a look into implementing the SelectTarget to get the current object but I can’t use the returned value. Is there a way to convert the XRBaseInteractable value to a GameObject or a way to access the selected object to pull values from it?

XRBaseInteractable is a monobehaviour. If you want access to its gameObject just use var selectedGameObject = mySocket.selectTarget.gameObject;
This does assume that you have checked that selectTarget isn’t null.

I was struggling to find a way to convert types to GameObject and that works perfectly.
Thank you very much for your help.
