Locking OVRCamerarig for a few seconds to load script.

Question

I'm building an app for the GearVR. Basically, I need the virtual reality camera to stay put for a few seconds to let me load a script that instantiates a 3d model that will follow the camera around and will stay wit$$anonymous$$n the player's field of vision.

The problem is t$$anonymous$$s 3d model will take a bit to load and the player looking around will cause the object to spawn after the player has looked away and follow the camera but outside its field of view.

Is there any way to keep the ovr camera still for a few seconds so I can load t$$anonymous$$s script?

Never lock the camera, that will make the player nauseous. Is there a reason you can't spawn the object in front of the current camera position or preload the object based on proximity?

I have a PUN script that connects to the server in order to spawn a multi player object. So I send the coordinates where the camera is looking, but because the server takes about 2 seconds to respond, if the player moves, the object will not be synched to the camera. The easiest way to fix it would be to lock the camera for 2 seconds, but if it's not possible I will take any suggestions haha.

I'm using PUN to spawn a game object that keeps track of the position of the camera. The problem is since it has to connect to their server, the script will send the position where it needs to spawn but the player usually moves around and by the time the server response comes back, the object will of course spawn on the spot he was looking at the beginning instead of where hes looking at the moment. Thanks for answering by the way!
