Dynamic interactions between avatar attachments

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• detect a collision between a collider of a first avatar and a receiver of a second avatar configured to react to the collision, wherein the receiver is defined in assets for the second avatar and is linked to an animation or an effect, the animation or the effect is defined in the assets for the second avatar, the receiver is configured to trigger the animation or the effect in response to the collision;
• report the detected collision to an avatar controller associated with the second avatar;
• and
• play the animation or a custom effect to which the receiver is linked in response a to the collision.

A computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to:
• detect a collision between a collider of a first avatar and a receiver of a second avatar configured to react to the collision, wherein the receiver is defined in assets for the second avatar and is linked to an animation or an effect, the animation or the effect is defined in the assets for the second avatar, the receiver is configured to trigger the animation or the effect in response to the collision;
• report the detected collision to an avatar controller associated with the second avatar;
• and
• play the animation or a custom effect to which the receiver is linked in response to the collision.
