No timeToTeleport in WebXRDefaultExperienceOptions from Typescript

Questions
#1

I am taking JS code from a previous project and re-coding it into Typescript for another I am starting.

In the JS of the previous, the code was:

const options = {
    // when both AR & VR capable; AR wins for now
    uiOptions: {sessionMode: isARCapable ? "immersive-ar" : "immersive-vr"},
    useMultiview: true, // just guessing
    timeToTeleport: 3500
};
BABYLON.WebXRDefaultExperience.CreateAsync(scene, options).then((defaultExperience) => { ... });

That in Typescript fails to compile in CreateAsync() with sessionMode cannot be text. Ok, so I wrote it this way to get around it:

const options = new BABYLON.WebXRDefaultExperienceOptions();
// when both AR & VR capable;  AR wins for now
options.uiOptions.sessionMode = isARCapable ? "immersive-ar" : "immersive-vr";
options.timeToTeleport = 3500; // this does not compile
               
BABYLON.WebXRDefaultExperience.CreateAsync(scene, options).then((defaultExperience) => { ... });

A whole bunch of other properties are listed in the editor code completion dropdown, but not timeToTeleport. Please advise.

Hi JCPalmer,

I don’t timeToTeleport is part of the default experience options; it might have been before, but in that case I guess it moved. I believe that setting is specific to the teleportation feature, so it moved to the options for that.

Yeah it must have moved there. This validate my move to Typescript where checking is done. I usually write things the first time in javascript. The 2ND time, refractor / improve / Move to Typescript.
