Attach Objects Via CV2

[storm bronze]

There was a post on this from 2022, but I'm wondering if there could be any new ways to accomplish this.

I'm fairly sure there's no current way to make this happen, but can anybody think of a way to basically "attach/clamp" a spawned replicated object to something else? I thought of using the 'set transform in reference object space' chip constantly running, but I also want to do this for multiple replicated objects without having to track the reference position for each individual one, and it seems like it'd be a bit buggy anyway. And of course there aren't any specific circuits to attach an object to a rotator or piston, or pretty much anything as far as I'm aware.

You can use the Grabber component in Rooms 2.0 to dynamically attach an object to another object.

In Rooms 2.0 you can set an object to be a child of another object, which will make the child copy whatever movement the parent does.

It's like having two folders, with folder 1 inside folder 2, wherever you move folder 2, folder 1 will move with it.

It's a big part of Rooms 2.0: "hierarchical building".

The grabber component only works for one object unfortunately so it won't work for my case

How would you do that with replicated objects?

[zinc garnet]

For replicated objects you'd want to make a container with all the parts of your object, then replicate the container.

Sorry I think I'm having a bit of trouble with it, so far all I've managed to make it do is just replicate both the objects and the thing I want them attached to, rather than the objects only

[storm bronze]

So I guess as an example, I would want to have these purple spheres automatically "clamped" to the orange pole everytime they spawn in. I'm having trouble getting it to actually replicate those spheres as a child of the orange pole without replicating the pole itself

[zinc garnet]

You would have to manually attach every ball to the pole.

Is this for a particle effect?

[storm bronze]

Okay so there is no way to replicate them as that

Nah something different but I was trying to make a simpler example

[zinc garnet]

No.

[storm bronze]

Ok well thanks for your help!

[warped wadi]

U can use multiple grabbers and even replicate the grabbers.

[storm bronze]

If I were to use replicated grabbers how would they still be connected to that example orange pole?

[warped wadi]

U can connect a grabber to the pole. Attach a grabber to each replicated object. When the first object is replicated, attach it to the grabber on the pole. For every next replicated object, attach it to the grabber of the previous object.

This is a workaround until rec room adds dynamic parenting with circuits

[storm bronze]

ohhh I'll try that

[warped wadi]

The other option is to have many grabbers on the pole, but u won’t be able to replicate them and u will be limited in how many grabbers u can have

[storm bronze]

any way I can stop the grabber's circuit board from disappearing when I attach it to the object to be replicated so it'll be replicated?

[storm bronze]

it just gets forced into an empty container circuit board kinda
