# Hold Positions Hold Positions are the position on an item that a character holds it by. They are empty objects used to simply set a location and rotation. Link below is a video showing them in use on items in-game. Some items may have more than one Hold Position. Different variables like object's shape, object's type, object's state, character's intent, character's species, character's hand, character's pose etc.. may effect how a item is held. This will be managed via different Hold Positions.

Different items may be held in different poses, resulting in different hold positions.

#### Examples:

Item with different Hold Positions for left hand and right hand.

Item with different Hold Positions for one-handed and two-handed wielding.

Item with different Hold Positions for help and harm intents.
