Hi guys! I wanted to study this new ManipulationComponent(), but I keep getting a warning that I don’t understand, even in a very simple scenario. i don't have any collisions just binding the Manipulation

the warning message is :

** Entity returned from EntityWrapper.makeEntity(context:) was already parented to another entity. This is not supported and may lead to unexpected behavior. SwiftUI adds entities to internally-managed entity hierarchies.**

        RealityView { content, attachments in
            

            if let loadedModel = try? await Entity(named: "cloud_glb", in: realityKitContentBundle) {
                
                content.add(loadedModel)
                loadedModel.components.set(ManipulationComponent())
                
            }

Thanks !

Oh, so that's causing it. Since yesterday I'm trying to figure out what I messed up for this error to show up and can't find anything. Removing the call to ManipulationComponent.configureEntity made it go away :).

In general it seems to be working for me - if you do ManipulationComponent.configureEntity(someEntity) it makes all the basic things you need (otherwise my understanding is that you need to add all the required components, like collision). Then you can do, for example, someEntity.components[ManipulationComponent.self].releaseBehavior = .stay (configureEntity apparently automatically adds also that component, which I discovered 5 minutes ago, because earlier I was creating and adding my own). But yes - the error is always there when it's called...
