How do you bet the boolean in isLocated in WorldAnchor components to be true?
I have a problem where I have successfully created a WorldAnchor position and I don;t seem to be able to set the isLocated boolen to true. I have tried storing it in WorldAnchorStore following the outline suggested in the manual and tried the following snippet:-
try
{
anchor = m.AddComponent<WorldAnchor>();//Always returns a non-null value
if (anchor != null)
{
//save_anchor_point(anchor, gettagstring(pos));
anchor.transform.position = pos;
if (anchor.isLocated)
{
//anchor is located
comment = "world anchor is located";
}
else
{
comment = "world anchor is NOT located!";//Always returns this comment!
}
}
else
{
comment = "not added worldanchor";
}
}
catch
{
comment = "Exception caused for anchor = m.AddComponent<WorldAnchor>();";
return null;
}
The WorldAnchor status always returns "world anchor is NOT located". Please see the screen snippet below:-
So I would be most grateful if someone could guide me in the right direction.
Many thanks

This is covered in the WorldAnchor documentation under "Handling Locatability Changes".
In summary, the isLocated property gets set by the system automatically. Its possible that there is enough information at the time you add the WorldAnchor component that isLocated will be true at the time you add it. Otherwise, you can subscribe to the OnTrackingChanged event and when there is enough information available to accurately locate that anchor, the event will fire and you can respond by updating the WorldAnchorStore, etc.

Yes that is correct @Davon92 and I don't know why.
