In Unity, how do you manually set an interactable to an interactor (XR Grab Interactable to XR Socket Interactor)

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to manually attach an XR Grab Interactable to a XR Socket Interactor but using XRBaseInteractor.selectTarget has the protected modifier.

How can you do this via C# in Unity?

Answer 1

You can use the XR Interaction Manager to help with this!

Both XRSocketInteractor.StartManualInteraction(); and XRInteractionManager.ForceSelect(); are now confirmed working in the XR Interaction Toolkit 1.0.0-pre.5

Example script for testing:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit;

public class XRSocketConnector : MonoBehaviour
{
    public XRSocketInteractor socket;
    public XRBaseInteractable interactable;
    public XRInteractionManager interactionManager;

    void Start()
    {
        // Both of these work in 1.0.0-pre.5
        socket.StartManualInteraction(interactable);
        // interactionManager.ForceSelect(socket, interactable);
    }
}
