# suppressesAutomaticApplication

Controls whether subscribing suppresses automatic root motion application.

## Declaration

```swift
var suppressesAutomaticApplication: Bool { get nonmutating set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Defaults to true — the system will not apply root motion automatically when this event has subscribers. Set to false to allow automatic application even while observing the event. note: This property only takes effect when using scene.subscribe(to:on:). Changes made via scene.publisher(for:on:) are not written back to the engine.
