InteriorItem

A concrete, networked, interactable placeable object within the interior system. Extends InteriorItemBase and implements Unity’s IPointerDownHandler for mouse/touch interaction. Handles the editing lifecycle, server sync, and conditional remote updates of user-placed objects.

public class InteriorItem : InteriorItemBase, IPointerDownHandler

Purpose​

This class provides the full behavior of a buildable item in the scene:

  • 🧩 Supports interaction, editing, and nesting
  • 💾 Synchronizes with Firebase backend when updates are confirmed
  • 🎮 Handles user input, selection, and visual state changes
  • 🧼 Provides cleanup and rollback capabilities for invalid placements
  • 🛠️ Includes Unity Editor helpers for collider/visual setup

Interaction Flow​

OnPointerDown(PointerEventData)​

Triggers item selection logic:

  • Only reacts if player has authority and isn't UI-blocked
  • Ensures active state is idle and remote data is not pending
  • Selects the item for editing via SetAsSelected

RemoveItem()​

Removes the item from the scene or sends it to storage (if owned). Also unregisters from replay tracking.

CancelSelection()​

Aborts editing:

  • If item isn't deployed, destroys it
  • Otherwise, reverts to remote data and clears pending flags

UpdateItemRemote()​

Validates placement and pushes changes to the server. Also updates nested children recursively.

Focus and Visual Handling​

OnFocusLost()​

  • Ends editing state
  • Optionally syncs changes (currently commented out)

DeselectItem()​

  • Ends editing for self and children
  • Resets visual outline and invalid material states

Editor Utilities​

Available under #if UNITY_EDITOR:

  • GatherCollider(): Auto-populates playerColliders from children
  • CheckForNestedInteriorItemVisual(): Assigns loadedVisualController
  • SearchForItem(): (Stubbed out) searches for a matching BuildItemData by name

Utilities​

ResetToRemoteData()​

Repositions and rotates item to Firebase state.

EnableInteraction() / DisableInteraction()​

Enables or disables collider-based interactivity.

Integration​

  • Inherits all capabilities from InteriorItemBase
  • Works with:
    • InteriorManager
    • ReplayTrackable
    • PlacementSurface
    • InteriorItemVisual
  • Uses Fusion networking and Firebase persistence

Remarks​

This is the user-facing item component within the dynamic placement system. It focuses on ensuring accurate interaction fidelity, robust rollback handling, and extensibility for future interaction layers or state tracking.
