AVATAR MODE IS ATTACHED problem

Post by virtuali »

Hello,

We found a small issue with the "AVATAR MODE IS ATTACHED" variable:

Normally, when the Avatar mode is Enabled in the General settings page, the variable works as expected, returning 1 if the Avatar is attached to the plane, and 0 if the user is outside walking with the Avatar.

However, if the Avatar mode is Disabled in the General settings page, the variable will always read 0, AS IF the user were in Avatar mode, which cannot be, since the whole feature is disabled.

This caused some issues with our sceneries, that rely on that variable to act differently and show different things depending if the user is on the plane or he's walking around as an avatar.

It would be best if the returned value would be 1 even when Avatar mode is disabled in the settings, so it would be consistent with the value returned when the feature is enabled.
