Alright, sorry for the delay in replying, exam time so don’t have much free time for the next few weeks.

But I managed to get bounce back / snap back working

What I found the best solution to be was to
a) Store the initial position be need to snap back to (for this I store the relative offset from the pickuper component and transform it back into worldspace whenever I need to)
b) disable the pickup objects gravity when we pick it up (we’re going to create our own gravity )
c) I have setup a threshold for the bounce back to try and eliminate any jitter feel free to mess with this value to suit your needs
d) If the pickuped component is greater than the threshold away from its initial pickup location then do the snap back logic
e) If the path is clear from the object to the pickuper than simply set its world location back to its initial location (the snap back)
f) but if the path isn’t clear we calculate our own gravity in the direction to the pickuper which makes our object always seem like it wants to go back to its initial location

Anyway the push is up on now so feel free to download it from master

A further complication for the grabbing: if the object being held is long (for example a sword), would it be possible to have the object “pivot” around the point where it is being held? Say the sword tip hits a solid object but the player’s hand keeps moving, the natural result would be for the part of the sword being held to remain attached to the controller, while the tip is stopped, resulting in a rotation of the sword around the hand. Is this possible, and if so, how could it be implemented?
