Is it possible to set the RealtimeAvatarManager local player at runtime in script?

Sure... I'm just in deep now so its simpler said than done, but I think that is the solution

Is it possible to set the RealtimeAvatarManager local player at runtime in script?

I'm happy enough with the workaround for now. My team has built up a policy against modifying asset files due to the slippery-ness of that slope. Better to peek inside the black box and work around its quirks rather than modify the black box and create more quirks that cost more time to solve. If I open up a feature request for support of desktop users in an avatar system (or some other suggested solutions) would that be worth it or would it simply be recommended I create a custom avatar manager that supports both?

Ended up doing this. Would love to know if there's a better way.

// The only way to set the avatar manually is to wait
private void SetLocalPlayer(Realtime realtime, RealtimeAvatarManager avatarManager)
{
    IEnumerator Wait()
    {
        while (!realtime.connected) yield return null;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
        avatarManager.localAvatar.localPlayer.root = rootTransform;
        avatarManager.localAvatar.localPlayer.head = CameraTransform;
        avatarManager.localAvatar.localPlayer.leftHand = leftHandTransform;
        avatarManager.localAvatar.localPlayer.rightHand = rightHandTransform;
    }

    StartCoroutine(Wait());
}

    }

    StartCoroutine(Wait());
}

I also need to keep it from spawning an avatar when there is a desktop client

@Normcore Assistant RealtimeAvatarManager does not have those transforms. Looks like I may be able to set it from RealtimeAvatarManager.localAvatar.localPlayer though.
