# suppressesAutomaticApplication

A Boolean value that controls whether subscribing to the event suppresses
automatic application of the root motion delta.

```
var suppressesAutomaticApplication: Bool { get nonmutating set }
```

## Discussion

The default value is `true` — while the event has subscribers, the system
doesn’t apply the delta automatically and the subscriber takes over. Set to
`false` to keep automatic application in place while still observing the event.

> Note: This property only takes effect when subscribing through
> ``scene.subscribe(to:on:)``. Changes made via ``scene.publisher(for:on:)`` aren’t
> written back to the engine.
