Slide to Remove

Create an object that is attached to another object and needs to be slid before it can be removed. This example describes how to create a cube which sits on top of another cube. When slid to a specific point, it can be removed.

The object hierarchy will look like this:

Slide Remove Example

Create an empty object in Unity. Add the following:

Add a 3D cube as a child of Slide Remove Example. Add or configure the following:

*You will need to come back to this section at a later point to set the Upper Limit: In Limit value. The object, Slide Removable Part, has not been created at this point. It will be the child of the Sliding Joint object.

Right click on the Sliding Joint object and select: Motive → Make Attach Receiver. This will add a VR Attachable Receiver.
