positions. If they are not child of seat then set the root in the seat, eg hands to

Pro Tip:

Naming conventions matter! Here’s what the asset uses for quick setup if you like

speedy setup.

For seats – The tool will search for names containing “Seat/seat” and “Driver/driver,

Passenger/passenger, Gunner/gunner” respectively. It will add the seats to the

component and prefill the Name, Type and Seat Position fields.

Example “DriverSeat”, “PassengerSeat”, “GunnerSeat”

It will also search for “Feet/feet” and “Hand/hand” combined with “Root/root”

Example “HandIkRoot”, “FeetIkRoot”

It will also search for ”FirstPersonCamPos/FirstPersonCameraPos/

FirstPersonCameraPosition” if added for vehicle weapons.

Attack Colliders are also found and added, It will search for “Attack/attack” combined

with ”Collider/collider”. Additionally it will find “Left/left”, “Right/right”, ”Front/front”,

“Rear/rear”. If none of these are found it cannot determine how you would like it

setup so it’ll show you a handly little window to assist the setup in a speedy manner.
