Trigger Handle and Containers

What device/platform are you having the problem on?

PC

How often does the issue occur?

every time after the latest update

Reproduction Steps

Group a trigger volume into a container
Use the event receiver to unequip objects on player equip object (as shown in the image)

Description

After the latest update trigger handles “disassociated” with their containers. Before the update trigger handles could be unequipped by using the Unequip Object or Unequip Object From Player chip with the container as the object. Now the container will only be unequipped if you unequip the trigger handle specifically as the object.

Additionally, the container was set to not grabbable since it had a trigger handle in it that was already grabbable (this is the only way trigger handles in containers work). I also used the Player Get Equipped Objects chip and this also outputted that the player was holding the container (rather than the individual trigger handle) so circuits should also still be able to unequip the container from the player (rather than getting the individual trigger handle).

This is just a little bug I noticed but it breaks existing systems I had in place, and it would be nice not to have to redo all of them.

Also with this bug, sometimes when unequipping the container it does unequip it from your hand, but then it locks it in place to your hand, without you actually holding it (as seen in the second screenshot).

For anyone affected by this change, here is a simple solution:

Just get the trigger handle with the Rec Room Get All Children with Tag chip and unequip that.

After looking into this I’m told we should have a fix shipping in the next two weeks or so!
