Have you taken a look at this Throwing documentation to ensure you have the grabbable object properties configured properly? There is also an example code as well in that article.
Hi Ben, I've tried to follow the Throwing Documentation and have had the Desktop Editor crash multiple times. Typically after multiple grabs of the same object (DiceWhite_geom from public assets). It does manage to throw once. Throwing controls is enabled. I've filled a bug report and included the Windows Event application error. Here's the code I'm using stripped down after multiple attempts:
import { Component, CodeBlockEvents, PlayerDeviceType, Player, Handedness } from 'horizon/core';
class DiceThrow extends Component<typeof DiceThrow> {
static propsDefinition = {
};
start() {
this.connectCodeBlockEvent(this.entity, CodeBlockEvents.OnIndexTriggerDown, (player: Player)=> {
// Ignore on VR devices
if (player.deviceType.get() == PlayerDeviceType.VR) {
return;
}
// Setup the throw options
let opt = {
speed: 25,
pitch: 30
}
// Calling Throw Held Item
player.throwHeldItem(opt);
}
)}
}
Component.register(DiceThrow);
