Question Can a collision trigger be used to update user preferences like disabling a VR hand?

[tankson]

I want to stay in hand tracking mode, and just bump a button which will toggle whether my VR hand is enabled so it can be free... for other things.

Everything (mostly) can be done with code.
Settings can be modified with code. So yes, you could code a plugin to change settings and would give an action to change whatever you want through triggers.

On my to-do list I have a plugin that exposes all user preferences as triggerable. It would not be hard to make... maybe next month? I'll try to remember to update this thread if I make it, unless someone else gets there first

Thanks, I was hoping there was an existing GUI thing I was missing. Can you direct me to any existing plugin that does something similar I could use as a template? This would be my first foray into coding something for VAM.

Sounds great. I would be curious to see if I could make one for my specific case in the meantime. Can you direct me to any existing simple plugin that does something similar I could use as a template?

Generally if a coder (in that case everlaster) does something, it's generally something that feels a void so there's no "template" at the moment of settings modification
So the best thing we can direct you to is the base template of a plugin which is contained in \Custom\Scripts\MeshedVR

Try https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/freeze-motion-sound-relay.44385/ as a very simple example. User preferences would be accessible via UserPrefrences.singleton rather than SuperController.singleton, for the most part.

For getting started with VaM plugin development, I suggest joining the official discord and reading the getting started pinned post in the #scripting channel
