XRPositionalTracker
===================

**Inherits:** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A tracked object.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

An instance of this object represents a device that is tracked, such as a controller or anchor point. HMDs aren't represented here as they are handled internally.

As controllers are turned on and the :ref:`XRInterface<class_XRInterface>` detects them, instances of this object are automatically added to this list of active tracking objects accessible through the :ref:`XRServer<class_XRServer>`.

The :ref:`XRController3D<class_XRController3D>` and :ref:`XRAnchor3D<class_XRAnchor3D>` both consume objects of this type and should be used in your project. The positional trackers are just under-the-hood objects that make this all work. These are mostly exposed so that GDExtension-based interfaces can interact with them.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_XRPositionalTracker_method_get_input:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **get_input** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name **)** |const|

Returns an input for this tracker. It can return a boolean, float or :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` value depending on whether the input is a button, trigger or thumbstick/thumbpad.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_XRPositionalTracker_method_get_pose:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`XRPose<class_XRPose>` **get_pose** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name **)** |const|

Returns the current :ref:`XRPose<class_XRPose>` state object for the bound ``name`` pose.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_XRPositionalTracker_method_has_pose:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **has_pose** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name **)** |const|

Returns ``true`` if the tracker is available and is currently tracking the bound ``name`` pose.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_XRPositionalTracker_method_invalidate_pose:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **invalidate_pose** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name **)**

Marks this pose as invalid, we don't clear the last reported state but it allows users to decide if trackers need to be hidden if we loose tracking or just remain at their last known position.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_XRPositionalTracker_method_set_input:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **set_input** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name, :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` value **)**

Changes the value for the given input. This method is called by a :ref:`XRInterface<class_XRInterface>` implementation and should not be used directly.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_XRPositionalTracker_method_set_pose:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **set_pose** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` name, :ref:`Transform3D<class_Transform3D>` transform, :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` linear_velocity, :ref:`Vector3<class_Vector3>` angular_velocity, :ref:`TrackingConfidence<enum_XRPose_TrackingConfidence>` tracking_confidence **)**

Sets the transform, linear velocity, angular velocity and tracking confidence for the given pose. This method is called by a :ref:`XRInterface<class_XRInterface>` implementation and should not be used directly.

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
