VaM 1.x UI Button or keybind for possession toggle

[guhhyuk]

Is there a way to bind a ui button or key to turn off a pelvis control possession on and off? So far I don't see any option in the UI button click action to do this. There is no option within the receiver target to toggle the physics link.

Your best bet might be with the plugin UIAssist from JayJayWon. To me it's a must have plugin, just makes VAM use so much better.
You should do all possession with the Embody plugin and not the built-in possession, if that's your case.

With Embody, you can set a hotkey to activate it. F3 and F12 are commonly used for this purpose, depending on which hand is free...

With Embody, you can also change the FOV. Load the FieldOfViewController.cs from Acidbubbles Utilities package onto the Window Camera Control node. In Embody, what I do is set a trigger to tell the plugin to change Monitor FOV to 55 or 60 when active, and set it back to 40 on exit.

Tracker Controller was meant to do this, but there are some gaps I asked about here with no reply yet. Looking at the code, several of the asks are "TODOS" from when it was published in 2023, so unlikely to be improved.

Can't see how to set up something with so many steps using UI Assist. Someone else asked recently in the Discord so check there.

VamX has this in Plugins -> Possess Sex (VamX.PossessSex). It has some auto-configuration (nearest tracker), and adds UI buttons next to the VAM menu when in VR mode. It's within the main VamX file, and it's dependant on other VamX components, so you need to load it within VamX rather than independently. That's not great, because VamX often brings a big performance hit when added to another scene, can break scenes, or conflict with your preferred session plugins. You can also extract the file and load it manually, or repackage it and get UI Assist to load it on a button press. I haven't fully tested this yet.

Embody has some documentation for this here, but I haven't tried it yet.
