VaM 1.x Any plugin to possess Atoms via triggers?

[Geraldo]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a plugin that allows me to possess Atoms in a scene via triggers. Embody unfortunately only allows you to use Passenger in Atoms that aren't Person Atoms (for example, a Sphere), and that's just not really what I'm looking for in a specific scene. Any ideas?
What I was able to come up was to manually align the Atom I wanted with the [CameraRig] and then ParentLink it (which is essentially what Possession does). However, this does not carry on if I reload the scene, and I have to configure it again everytime as it loses the parenting to the [CameraRig] upon scene load.

Thanks in advance.

It's not for possession but the plugin below could be used for your workaround. Instead of ParentLink you can use its "Lock" trigger to target and follow the [CameraRig]. This should be persistent with scene reloading as far as I know.

What type of possession are you trying to do with non-person atoms that you need something else besides Passenger mode, if I may ask?
