What happens to ownership of object by Player after Player crashes or leaves the world?

What happens to ownership of object by Player after Player crashes or leaves the world?

 

Suppose I have entity objects in the world that when the player grabs, they get assigned ownership by ts 

Is this permanent or just duration of player being in-world?

What happens to ownership after player leaves the world?

You can find lot of detail regarding ownership in the creator manual, but this section specifically talks about your question: https://developers.meta.com/horizon-worlds/learn/documentation/mhcp-program/community-tutorials/creator-manual#automatic-ownership-transfers

i read that but i guess i am still confused what happens if an entity is orphaned from a user who crashed etc - does the entity just get disposed/deleted? Is that Discontinuous ownership transfer or Automatic ownership transfer?

A spawned entity will not dispose of itself unless you program it to do so. Ownership will just revert back to the serverplayer automatically when a player exits either by crash or manually.
