Yeah VRCharacter doesn’t move the root itself, it moves the physical representation of it in the physics scene and uses the offset location in every function instead of the actual actors location. It far more complicated but allows for some additional features, it still doesn’t rotate the actor with it though.

Like I said in my second reply though (you may have missed it), if the problem is the skeletal mesh having to have a rotation (IE, be parented to something that follows rotation), use a Parent Relative Attachment attached to the camera and place the skeletal mesh under that. The whole point of the parent relative attachment is to provide a solid base for Bodies and waists and chests and such and to rotate them with the YAW/Z axis of the head.

I had tried using the parentRelativeAttachment before, and would love to use it, but the issue for me is that I need to drive the base body movement from the pelvis and not the head. Otherwise my IK looks funky because when I rotate my head the whole underlying animation is rotated.

I tried adding an extra parentRelativeAttachment component besides the inherited one, and attaching it beneath my pelvis tracker in hopes that it would use that as the parent, but it still seems tied to the HMD as the parent. Is there any way to make it accept any parent rather than just HMD? I think if I could have the pelvis tracker as parent it would work well for my body tracking setup.
