Component: Pointer
The TutorialPointer component is used to simply point at objects on the scene.
The API is simple; the pointer simply takes the position where it should be pointing at, and in which direction. Scale can optionally be overridden as well. Then it passes the request through its own configurable pipeline - if configured - to calculate the final request.
The pointer component provides configuration for Transform Modification Pipeline. You can configure all the pipeline actions you want applied globally to this pointer here.
The components sending a pointing request to the pointer typically have their own pipelines.
The pointing request is crafted by those pipelines first, and then is passed through the global pointer pipeline to calculate the final
transform of the pointer.
