How to get/set Rigidbody localPosition?

[SawyerK]

Is there an Action for this? I found get/set Rigidbody Position on the Ecosystem but it uses world space. Are there any get/set Rigidbody localPositon Action that uses the local Space of the Rigidbody? Because i cant seem to find one.

Hi,

 Rigidbody should never be parented, this is creating problems for the physics engine, instead they should be connected using joints.

Can you explain your use case as to why you have it parented?

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I have a FP character that can pick up rigidbody objects, and i parent the rigidbody to the player camera so it always in front of the player and that's why i need to get, then set the rigidbody's position, so it remains in front of the player even if phisics affect it.

I have the pickup object Actions here:

hi,

 then, just set the local position of the gameobject itself, it doesn't matter that it has a rigidbody on it.
