updating synced objects using third party components about networked-aframe HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes its definitely possible to move objects (as long as your client currently owns them) using super-hands. I suspect you are not syncing the correct entity's position and rotation. By default only the top-level entity's position and rotation are synced. If you provide an example showcasing what you think should work I can provide more help. (check out glitch.com for an easy way to make an example).

Hi Hayden. thanks for the quick reply! Here's an example which is just a bare-bones remix of your basic naf glitch example.

I was trying to sync a box so that it can be dragged by both users or just one and the other is still able to see the action.

Note that one tricky bit about super-hands in particular is that aframe-physics-system uses a quaternion component to do its rotation, so you will specifically need to sync that. See https://github.com/mozilla/mr-social-client/blob/experiment/super-hands/src/network-schemas.js#L30

Hi netpro2k, thanks for the response. Adding the quaternion component did help out but apparently the problem was with my code. I just found it and saw that i wasn't adding the progressive-controls component and grabbable components to the correct entities. I was putting them all together but instead had to seperate them.

  <a-entity id="mine" grabbable networked="template:#box-template;showLocalTemplate:true" position="0 1 0" >
 </a-entity>

I'm still having a problem with syncing and the only way it worked was with a glitch in the java o.o (i think the second square brace shouldn't exist at the end)

var boxSchema = {
template: '#box-template',
components: [
"position",
"rotation",
"scale",
"rotation",
"quaternion",
]

    ]
  };
  NAF.schemas.add(boxSchema);

but ill come figure it out. Thanks so much for all the help!

You have rotation in there twice, you actually don't need it at all since the quaternion component actually removes rotation. Also you are correct, there is an extra ]

var boxSchema = {
  template: '#box-template',
  components: [
    "position",
    "scale",
    "quaternion"
  ]
};
NAF.schemas.add(boxSchema);
