	~~{{Stub\|Not much information here! Please expand and proofread, in reference to [[VRCWiki:Manual_of_Style\|Manual of Style]].}}~~
	[[File:Station in unity.webp\|thumb\|Station example in unity.]]		[[File:Station in unity.webp\|thumb\|Station example in unity.]]
	'''Stations'''~~, or colloquially known as~~ ''seats'', or ''chairs'' are interactive ~~assets in the VRChat World~~, and ~~Avatar~~ [[~~SDK~~]], ~~allowing a user to be seated in the assigned spot. Stations primarily serve the function of being used as chairs but~~ can also be used to ~~build vehicles, manipulate the player's position and rotation or override the player's animations with a custom animation controller~~.		'''Stations''' (often called '''seats''' or '''chairs''') are interactive objects that place a user at a defined position and rotation, optionally applying seated IK and/or custom animations. Stations are commonly used in [[worlds]], and can also be used on [[avatars]] to create attachable seats.

	== ~~Parameters~~ ==		== Overview ==
			A Station is typically implemented with a creator component that users interact with to "sit" (enter the station). When a user enters a station, the station can:
			* Move the user to a defined entry transform.
			* Optionally treat the user as seated (seated IK) and/or apply a custom animation controller.
			* Optionally restrict movement/exit or allow switching between stations.

			== General behavior ==
			=== Entering ===
			Stations require an interactable area. A Collider on the same GameObject is used as the click/interaction area. A Box Collider may be added automatically if none exists.

			=== Exiting ===
			By default, users can typically leave a station by moving. Disabling the Station's GameObject will remove (unseat) users currently using it. Disabling only the Collider prevents new users from entering, but does not remove the current user.

			== World ==
			=== Adding a Station in a world ===
			In worlds, Stations are commonly used for chairs, ride seats, and vehicle/ride systems that reposition the user.

			=== Component options ===
			The VRC_Station component provides the following commonly used options:
	{\| class="wikitable"		{\| class="wikitable"
	\|+		! Option
	!~~Parameter~~		! Description
	!Description
	~~!Options~~
	\|-		\|-
	\|Player Mobility		\| Player Mobility
	\|~~Determines if~~ the ~~Player~~ can move while ~~seated.~~		\| Controls whether the user can move while in the station (Mobile / Immobilize / Immobilize For Vehicle).
	\|Mobile, Immobilize, Immobilize ~~for~~ Vehicle
	\|-		\|-
	\|Can ~~use~~ Station ~~from~~ Station		\| Can Use Station From Station
	\|~~Allows the~~ user to switch ~~stations whilst~~ seated.		\| Whether a user can switch directly into another station while currently seated.
	~~\|True/False~~
	\|-		\|-
	\|Animation Controller (optional)		\| Animation Controller (optional)
	\|Overrides the ~~player's animations whilst seated~~.		\| Overrides the default seating animation with a custom controller.
	~~\|Animation Controller~~
	\|-		\|-
	\|Disable Station Exit		\| Disable Station Exit
	\|~~Disallows the player from~~ exiting by ~~normal~~ means.		\| Prevents exiting by usual means; creators must provide an explicit way to unseat.
	~~\|True/False~~
	\|-		\|-
	\|Seated		\| Seated
	\|~~Should the player be~~ seated in the ~~station~~		\| Enables seated behavior (also affects the avatar `Seated` parameter when used).
	~~\|True/False~~
	\|-		\|-
	\|Station Enter Player Location		\| Station Enter Player Location
	\|Transform ~~that determines where~~ the ~~player should be seated~~.		\| Transform used as the user's position when entering.
	~~\|Transform~~
	\|-		\|-
	\|Station Exit Player Location		\| Station Exit Player Location
	\|Transform ~~that determines where~~ the ~~player should be unseated~~.		\| Transform used as the user's position when exiting.
	~~\|Transform~~
	\|-		\|-
	\|Controls Object		\| Controls Object
	\|~~Determine an~~ object ~~controlled by the station such as~~ a vehicle		\| Allows the seated user to control a target object (for example, a vehicle seat).
	~~\|GameObject~~
	\|}		\|}

	== ~~Trivia~~ ==		=== Animator integration ===
			Stations can drive Animator logic using built-in parameters:
			* `InStation`: true when the avatar is using a station (even if seated [[IK]] is not enabled).
			* `Seated`: true when seated [[IK]] is enabled (only when the station's ''Seated'' option is enabled).
			* `AvatarVersion`: may be used to branch behavior for SDK2 avatars vs SDK3 avatars.<ref>VRChat's documentation notes that stations behave differently for avatars uploaded with older [[SDK]] versions, and recommends using `AvatarVersion` and `InStation` to branch seated animation logic.

	* Stations ~~were mistakenly enabled~~ on avatars ~~sometime before May 11th 2018, before being~~ disabled on the ~~May 12th 2018 update (2018.1.2) as it was a planned feature released early<ref>[https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/438100/view/5318144537297815713~~ "~~VRChat 2018.1.2~~"] on ''[~~https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/438100 Steam News Hub~~]~~''. Dated May 10 2018. Retrieved December 7, 2024.</ref>~~		== Avatar ==
			Stations can also be placed on avatars to create "seats" that move with the avatar.

			=== Notes and limitations ===
			* Avatars can have up to 6 stations; additional stations are disabled.
			* Some station settings are less useful on avatars because walking typically exits the station, and "Disable Station Exit" may not behave as expected on avatar stations.
