That was what I did after adding an empty. Using only RubberLeash, neither locking axes on camera nor parent works.
Or... you meant from inside your plugin's script? Maybe your "..." meant you're going to make this work out in the next release...

I didn't have such plans no I feel like there might be a way to achieve that using VaM but I'm not sure how. Then you could use Rubberleash to "smooth out" the camera follow (something like parenting might work)

I know this won't ever make it onto your long list of todos so I'm going to try something for myself. I have a question:
When we add a new atom, "SyncDropDowns" doesn't seem to refresh the atom list. The only way is to refresh the plugin to see new added atoms.
Is there a way to make that SyncDropDowns work so that we don't need to manually reload the plugin?

Really... a missing ToList()? I bet it only took you exactly 0.01 second to find that. ?. Thanks for the fix.
Since I still couldn't figure out how to make it follow without turning (by a simple lock from inside VaM like you said,) I have added that middle-man Empty by script and made it work for me. Woohoo!
With MacGruber's absence from the forum, it's a blessing we still have you to help us, especially with technical stuff. There are others but not that many.
I have a question about setting the mouse cursor in Q&A that I'm afraid it might never get an answer. I'm hoping you could share some knowledge upon that when you have time. Thanks.

Yeah... the list will only update if the instance of the list changes, not if the content of the list is updated... easy to miss As for your other question, I don't know, sorry
As for your other question, I don't know, sorry A very useful plugin, but there are still some issues that need to be fixed. I have bound this plugin to a focusing atom, which can track facial movements. During the rendering process frame by frame with the Eosin_VRRenderer plugin, there is a slight jumping in the tracking process, which is not smooth enough, causing slight shaking of the camera that is bound to the auto-focusing function. As a result, the frame-by-frame rendering of the machine is not smooth.

Any updates on rotation constraint not working? (For some atoms I guess?) I saw someone ask about that on page 1, and I’m having a similar issue. I’m trying to use rubber leash on the window camera, position works, but rotation doesn’t. I thought it was the camera, or the object in leashing it to, but I tried parent link rotation to the same object, and it does rotate with it. Unfortunately this won’t work properly as I need the camera rotation to match at all times when the weight is at 1, parent link keeps offsets

For the record, @goodmanjunior figured it out
> It seems like rotation constraint works only once you record the child's current position first, so if you want to offset the child to be one to one with the parent, you have to align it yourself as opposed to not record the position and then allow rubberleash to align it for you

Hi bubbles,
I really love this plugin, but I'm wondering about a feature addition.
Would it be possible to add the ability to save locations and be able to choose which one to use as well as its weight via triggers?
Something I like about your plugin vs plugins like Attach to Vertex or Object Position Saver is the "weight" slider. If I want to move an object towards another object at a slower speed at first say at weight 25%, but then anchor it firmly in place with a trigger to weight 100% afterwards, I can do that.
With the other ones, it just immediately snaps the objects together with no consideration for travel time.
As an example use case, I'm currently tinkering with being able to physically pick up and move another Person in VR while in possession of another Person.
To try to paint the picture, I walk up to the person and position myself to pick them up, then load a pose preset to turn them mostly into a ragdoll with the exception of a few atoms, the hands and head. I then want to link the hands to the the shoulder, and the head to the head. So as I walk around my space, I am carrying the model around with me.
There are other ways to do this like triggering changes in the controller links and state, however what I like about Rubberleash is I can activate the Weight via trigger and it will "pull in" the target controller towards its anchor at varying speeds depending how quickly I want to move it there, so it's a bit more life-like at least without having to create an animation.
What would be really great about being able to save multiple different position relationships is that currently if I want to save say 3 positions for each hand and 3 for the head, I need to add 9 instances of the plugin which is problematic and tedious to manage. also, to move the hand I need 3 triggers, one to change the weight for each instance of the plugin controlling the hand position.
In order to achieve the same thing with say, object position saver, I need to create 3 empties and attach them to the model I want to possess. Object position saver allows you to choose a "target" from a dropdown, but it doesn't allow you to link to individual controllers on a Person, only the main control, which is a big downside and why I would need to add empties at every position, but I can at least just have 1 instance of the plugin to deal with.
