When using the new RealityKit Manipulation Component on Entities, indirect input will never translate the entity - no matter what settings are applied. Direct manipulation works as expected for both translation and rotation.
Is this intended behaviour? This is different from how indirect manipulation works on Model3D. How else can we get translation from this component?
visionOS 26 Beta 2 Build from macOS 26 Beta 2 and Xcode 26 Beta 2
Attached is replicable sample code, I have tried this in other projects with the same results.
var body: some View {
RealityView { content in
// Add the initial RealityKit content
if let immersiveContentEntity = try? await Entity(named: "MovieFilmReel", in: reelRCPBundle) {
ManipulationComponent.configureEntity(immersiveContentEntity, allowedInputTypes: .all, collisionShapes: [ShapeResource.generateBox(width: 0.2, height: 0.2, depth: 0.2)])
immersiveContentEntity.position.y = 1
immersiveContentEntity.position.z = -0.5
var mc = ManipulationComponent()
mc.releaseBehavior = .stay
immersiveContentEntity.components.set(mc)
content.add(immersiveContentEntity)
}
}
}
