I don't have plans to support the Quest so that's not a concern.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

SteamVR can take you a long way then on it's own.

#

If you don't care about non PC

#

You would have to rewrite your inputs if you ever decided to go to quest

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

Ah, well Hurricane is something I saw someone mention and I was looking at the videos for it earlier but I wasn't sure if I needed what it provides. Like, I didn't plan to have stabby mechanics. And I could only find one video of the grapple hook which seemed a bit lacking... I've played some grapple gun maps in VRchat where you can actually swing and maybe you can with yours but the physics seemed uh.... sluggish? Too linear? It doesn't speed you up when you swing it seems to be made for keeping people from getting sick? But that's less fun. The zipline seemed neat, though again I think you didn't have any acceleration there? Anyway I only just took a look at it for a bit, and those are minor complaints it has so much more than just that obviously, but you seemed to be suggesting this like... would handle inputs from multiple APIs for me? Is that correct?

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

That's not Hurricane, that's Hexabody, my recreation of the Boneworks player controller.

#

The grapple hook was just something I put in for fun to show off the physics player.

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

Ah I looked at both I forgot which was wich.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

Hurricane is the interaction frameworks, I use generic input wrappers that read inputs from the various sources. SteamVR, OVR(oculus), XRInput, and OpenXR (input system)

#

I need to do that so I can support people who use various devices and versions of Unity.

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

So this is like a wrapper for those other APIs kind of like how OpenXR is? Except you also have a bunch of extra stuff like the OpenXR Interaction Toolkit, to make interactions easy to set up? Is that right?

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:19 PM

#

No I don't use the XRTK, HVR is my own interaction framework.

#

I don't like floaty hands games, so I focus on physic based stuff. (Alyx, boneworks, blade and sorcery etc.)

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

I wasn't saying you use XRTK. I was asking if you provide similar helper functions to it for like, teleportation, free look, pickups... etc.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:21 PM

#

But it handles inputs etc so that my users don't have to, which is the hardest part for beginners getting into VR, as you have noticed.

#

Yes, I have all of these, there's demo on my itch page you can always try.

#

But XRTK can do all of these basic things for you as well. You're just locked into their input system (unless you modify it) and poor physics tracking.

#

And you have to build in your own hand animations and posing if you want that

winged ferry Mar 22, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

Hey, question I am building a game for VR and seems that each builds That I am doing will run around 30 - 40 fps or lower and I have read the oculus and unity guide about optimization but every change that I am doing nothing change :/ even in splash screen I have fps drops and there are only one cube and video player, I am using URP and lights are back, shadow is hard shadow and not everything has a shadow and there is only one rigid body and all the models are on simple lit, what should I do? nothing works 😦

#

Commission based 🙂 if you interested we can talk more about it in dm

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

vestal flicker And you have to build in your own hand animations and posing if you want that

But to get that hand posing and such, I have to use SteamVR, right? I mean I'm not against using SteamVR at all. I just was steered towards OpenXR and I was confused about how to get SteamVR up and running and the OpenXR Toolkit was appealing because I didn't want to have to code snap turn and smooth locomotion. As for hand tracking, well, I have a couple different ideas for games I want to make. One would require systems like you've made and would be great for, and the other, well, you'd essentially be a robot with guns for arms, so finger tracking is not a priority there. 🙂

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

There is no simple solution, SteamVR has a hand posing system, but you have to use their hand structure and you're locked into using the SteamVR framework. If you use XRTK, you're writing your own poser.

placid spruce Mar 22, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

You seem to know what your doing @vestal flicker

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

Not really, fake it til you make it.

placid spruce Mar 22, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

Gg 😂

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

Dont' expect Unity to add to much for free, they make money off publishers like me instead.

#

The ultimate solution, - write your own framework, wrap inputs, you have control of everything, you can build to any device. 6 months later maybe you're working on your prototype 😄

#

TDLR, you can try OpenXR and XRTK, it's making good progress, but dont' expect them to add alot of features.

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

Another reason why I avoided SteamVR was because they didn't provide any smooth locomotion options and their teleportation system was garbage too compared to what I was used to in VRChat before I got over motion sickness.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:35 PM

#

SteamVR is stable, has a interaction framework, hand posing. Many games made with it, can't go wrong there either.

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:35 PM

#

But lets say I wanted to go back to Steam VR which I assume will just work with Oculus and other headsets so long as I only want to sell through Steam...

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:35 PM

#

Adding those onto it shouldn't be to hard, ample tutorials on the subject

#

and you have the code from XRTK to lean on

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

I don't recommend my framework if you're this new, I wouldn't have time to help support (unless it's framework related)

#

SteamVR doesn't come with it's own smooth locomotion?

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

I'm new to VR development, but I'm not new to Unity, or game development in general, I've got like 25 years under my belt there... It's just figuring out this whole confusing fast changing VR ecosystem which is giving me headaches.

#

It didn't the last time I installed it a year ago.

#

and Alyx didn't even have it on launch.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:38 PM

#

Ah yeah I remember that, Valve is all about comfort I guess.

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

I'm just trying to save myself a lot of work. Like you said, you can code all this yourself for six months... But why would I want to? 😄

#

I always shake my head at devs that choose to code their own game engines from scratch. I have a friend who used to develop games until he decided to work on tools to make his next game instead and just got stuck in that black hole of development for ten years. I just want to get up and running quickly and focus on gameplay.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

Someone has to do it first lol

#

I was in the same boat, looked at the offerings, decided I needed full control for my game. but now I have no game, and a framework to support 🤦‍♂️

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

Sure, but I'm talking about stuff that others have already done. Like Double Fine went and wrote their own game engine completely from scratch to make Broken Age, a simple 3d-ish adventure game which could have been just as easily made in Unity and it would have saved them a year and $3M probably....

#

VR's a whole new frontier so yeah we do need new tools developed for that.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

Anyways, good luck, need to get to work. Just be sure to try my demos before you buy, so you know what you're getting into. At the end of the day it's just what kind of game you're trying to make, should decide what framework you're going to use. If you don't roll your own.

When i use the new input system and assign a small cube to my controllers the cubes get set to its original size (1,1,1)

tiny niche Mar 22, 2021, 5:17 PM

@winged light parent the cubes to an empty object

its not efficient, but its just the way it has to be

#

Having a weird problem with 'Tracked Pose Driver'.
I'm trying to track the left/right eye directly - are they bugged atm? The rotation is correct, but not the position (they do not move as I expect, and they are also flipped!)

#

#

All of the rotations are correct, but you would assume the eyes to rotate around the centre point?

#

green sphere is tracking left eye - red sphere is tracking right eye.

#

which is also definitely the wrong way around

tiny niche Mar 22, 2021, 5:25 PM

#

the center eye is the nose position pretty much, i'd expect the eyes to rotate around the local center or the middle of the head

mystic saffron Mar 22, 2021, 5:25 PM

#

That's the expectation, but they don't appear to

tiny niche Mar 22, 2021, 5:27 PM

looks to me like local rotation, but its impossible to tell for sure without seeing it in motion with headset tracking

vernal mantle Mar 22, 2021, 6:26 PM

Hey, guys. I'm trying to make a balloon keepy-uppy style mini game as a beginner level VR project, using Unity XR. I have a basic cube on the right hand for now for the balloon to bounce off, if the hand is still, the balloon bounces fine. If I go to "punch" the balloon, the balloon kinda sticks to the cube-hand. I've tried adding my "Bouncy" material to both objects and tweaking friction combine and bounce combine; always seems to stick to the cube-hand when it's moving, but bounces off it fine if it's stationary. Any ideas?

solar lagoon Mar 22, 2021, 6:33 PM

#

Can’t you use a script to do a Addforce on the Rb to the balloon when you collide with the cube

vernal mantle Mar 22, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

Good shout. That should work. It shouldn't collide all funny like that though and I'd ideally like to find a fix within the physics/material/collider settings if possible...

#

In games like Zero hour, you can use your gun to smack another gun off the table for example. It feels super natural and as if it's just using the physics engine. But I suppose there could be some script behind the scenes. 🤔

solar lagoon Mar 22, 2021, 6:40 PM

#

Maybe you could check by changing the collision parameter like Discrete

#

Not sure of the name I am not in front of Unity

#

Collision detection

vernal mantle Mar 22, 2021, 6:47 PM

#

Yeah, tried playing with different settings there too. Thanks for the help. Gonna keep playing and probably give up. 😅

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

If your hands aren't rigidbodies it's not going to work.'

#

Are you just putting a collider on your tracked transform and trying to hit it ?

vernal mantle Mar 22, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

Tried making them rigidbodies also with the same results...

#

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

you can't just transform move rigidbodies

#

you are teleporting them if you do that

vernal mantle Mar 22, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

Hmm... Okay. So I have to use script, as @solar lagoon suggested?

#

Me "punching" the balloon is just teleporting the cube slightly into it, each frame? Hence the sticky effect?

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

yes

vernal mantle Mar 22, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

That makes sense.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

Making the colliders overlap

vernal mantle Mar 22, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

Script it is then! Thanks for the help. ❤️

#

Could probably set the starting point of the "cube-hand" rb to the transform of the player's hand, then have it move using physics to keep it permanently in line with the current transform position. See how that works...

solar lagoon Mar 22, 2021, 7:08 PM

#

No dont touch the transform if you are doing physics

#

And do your code in FixedUpdate

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 7:09 PM

#

@vestal flicker Does your Hurricane system just automatically fit the hand to any mesh collider it comes into contact with? And what if that mesh collider is being animated kinematically, for example... could you grab an enemy's arm if the enemy's arm had an invisible non-skinned mesh collider attached to the bone, but the enemy was being animated?

vernal mantle Mar 22, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

I mean, it won't be attached to the transform. It'll be a separate GO with fixed updates to keep it "in line" with the player hand transform, hence feeling like it's just moving the transform, but kind of an illusion. It might take a lot of force to keep it in line permanently though so I'll probably have to add some dampening to stop it from smacking the balloon even if it's a little movement.... Thinking about it, the Addforce is probably a better idea. 😂

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 7:11 PM

#

novel cape <@!391439045726568458> Does your Hurricane system just automatically fit the han...

It does try to fit, it's not perfect, hand might end up in some strange orientation depending on where you grab things.

#

you wouldn't add grabbable components to the invisible colliders, so they can't be grabbed unless you decided

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 7:13 PM

#

@vestal flicker I realize that if the enemy isn't like, ragdolling that you wouldn't actually be able to stop that arm by grabbing it. I'm thinking if like, the arm is only moving slightly. I was just curious if kinematic animation would not work at all for collisions or if it would kinda work so long as it doesn't move too fast while being gripped.

vestal flicker Mar 22, 2021, 7:13 PM

#

The kinematic object would take precedence and move your hand around

novel cape Mar 22, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

Well when I say "grab" I don't mean physically grippable to move it around, I just mean the fingers stopping when they come into contact with the surface if you close your hand.

#

Okay well that's what I was hoping for I mean that's the best you can hope for with a kinematic animated object. Obviously I'd have to make it move with physics like a ragdoll to get something more realistic...

ancient bolt Mar 23, 2021, 4:28 AM

@warm whale Double-check that the Interaction Layer Mask (in your XR Interactor) includes the layer that your TeleportationArea is in.

vernal mantle Mar 23, 2021, 4:31 AM

#

@vestal flicker and @solar lagoon, I figured out a simple workaround to avoid scripting and give the exact physics I was looking for. Added a kinematic rb to an empty game object on the hand, so it follows the hand's transform. then a separate cube GO with rb, attached via a max-strength Fixed Joint. It means that the empty GO is "teleporting" as your put it, but the cube is following it with physics. Punching the balloon works perfectly now! 🙂

vestal flicker Mar 23, 2021, 4:32 AM

#

Works as long as you don't care about the insane amount of force that will put out

vernal mantle Mar 23, 2021, 4:35 AM

#

It feels really good in game, the punch feels as if I'm punching a balloon IRL, and isn't causing any problems or slowdowns.

#

Thought it might treat it like it's punching the balloon like a bazooka, as the fixed joint is effectively moving the cube as fast as possible to the transform. But Unity joints have a weird dampening thing, which can cause problems when you're trying to make a rope or chain, I've had weird stretchy ones before. But works well for this purpose. 😄

warm whale Mar 23, 2021, 4:53 AM

@ancient bolt my interaction layer mask includes Everything

@warm whale Make sure that your teleportation raycast is indeed colliding with the TeleportationArea and not something else (perhaps something invisible that's over the teleportation area?) I've had this happen to me before.

warm whale Mar 23, 2021, 5:03 AM

#

@ancient bolt I tried this and that's not the case. I created a new scene to test it with no object other than the teleport area

I'm thinking it's from the empty variables (set during runtime if not found). But I don't know, I'm filling them manually rn

ancient bolt Mar 23, 2021, 5:08 AM

#

@warm whale Huh, ok I'm out of ideas other than checking for some obvious things... Locomotion System is there, TeleportationProvider is there... I can't think of anything else, especially if you started from scratch in a new scene

What is 'pointer position' in OpenXR input? controllers seem to have them but to me they look the same as just the controller position

#

Is it only relevant for some devices?

#

Honestly can't find anything on the internet about it

#

Welp, figured it out. Some devices that use hand tracking instead of controllers try and simulate pointer positions in OpenXR. Apparently hand rig data should be added in the future. Anyhow, I don't need it which answers my question!

#

Correction* Unity does that, OpenXR doesn't provide that out of the box it seems

tiny niche Mar 23, 2021, 4:43 PM

right now the first game will capture your headset , one thing you could do is to use one with disabled vr and an a input emulator if you have one set up

sullen ridge Mar 24, 2021, 9:40 AM

#

howi do that

#

it's because i work with photon and i want to simulate the second player

#

in the tutorial i watch , it work for the person , he can run and controll the two game at the same time

#

but don't work for me @lone knoll

lone knoll Mar 24, 2021, 11:18 AM

#

depends on what framework you are using - i think there should be one for unity xr toolkit if im not wrong , but making your own simulator shouldn't be to difficult - just make 2 buttons on the main menu to select VR or Keyboard input and only enable vr if user selects so , you can map the mouse to the camera rotation like any normal fps game and right mouse to move the camera around [ i would make a quick keypress to switch the target transform - head / left-hand / right-hand - to not over complicate things for a simple emulator ]

@strange patrol urp?

#

with openxr?

#

that it is then

#

there's a fix but I dunno when it landed or if it has even landed on all versions

#

yes, I reported this like month ago

#

it's a really stupid thing

#

Unity made some quest framerate fix but applied it to all XR platforms, but it used some getter that doesn't return anything on OpenXR so it then set the application framerate on OpenXR to 0

#

which caused OpenXR to run at 1/3 of the real target

#

it's not doing there anything but waiting

#

let me double check the PR

#

fix is simple though: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/pull/3733/files

#

you can do that locally too if you just move URP package out of packages/packagecache to your packages folder and to that edit there

#

I'm not fond of the way they patched it now either... I really hate magic numbers like 300 they put there now as you don't even need any of this on desktop VR

#

I actually made a PR that just did that on android as that was the reason any of this exists but Unity wanted to fix it this way

#

but I guess we are not going to see consumer VR headsets with over 300Hz update rate any time soon so it's not immediately an issue...

#

just feels silly

#

also... cs float frameRate = 300.0f; Application.targetFrameRate = Mathf.CeilToInt(frameRate);

#

they kept the CeilToInt there when they could just fed 300 integer to that directly now 🙂

#

it's a minor thing but people looking at this in the future may scratch their heads a bit

lone knoll Mar 24, 2021, 12:29 PM

#

wraith shale you can do that locally too if you just move URP package out of packages/package...

seems like im not the only one using this method, will they ever allow unlocking of the package catch i wonder

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 12:30 PM

#

Unity actually had package manager version in some alpha/beta earlier where it would do exactly this (move the packages local copy into packages folder) if user pressed some button on PM but they quickly removed it

#

I guess they felt users would screw things up so they kept it as manual process to avoid that

#

that feature only existed for very short period of time

lone knoll Mar 24, 2021, 12:32 PM

#

i see how it would complicate upgrading the package version and other related packaged who may need that as a dependency ... but that this method is just so dirty rn

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 12:33 PM

#

well, you can't even manually upgrade many packages anymore as they moved things to core now

lone knoll Mar 24, 2021, 12:33 PM

#

does it mean its became* close source now ?

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 12:33 PM

#

but having things on package folder DOES override everything, so that's a huge concern for less experienced users

#

no, source is still there

#

it just means SRPs and bunch of other packages now just ship with Unity editor and are not user upgradable from Package Manager

lone knoll Mar 24, 2021, 12:35 PM

#

that's fair , stuff like TMPro should already be part of the core but is still not

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

they are working on merging TMP tech to new UI setup now

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 12:52 PM

#

alternatively, if you can use some other XR package than OpenXR it wouldn't have this issue on 2021

#

but the fix really is simple

tiny niche Mar 24, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

@wraith shale why can't you just take the source and make your own local package with a newer version? the package manager should let you reference that

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

that's what I just suggested here: #🥽┃virtual-reality message

#

you dont even have to adjust the manifest if you put the package in that folder

tiny niche Mar 24, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

i meant put it in your own internal feed, not hack the package inside the project

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 2:13 PM

#

unity will not alter it there and it will automatically use your local packages there even if there's different version on manifest

#

well, you can do that too

#

I personally use folder refs that point to place where I have my graphics repo forked

#

everyone could have their own setup of course, just suggesting the packagecache move package approach here as it's dead simple and doesn't require much effort if you only want to fix the thing for one specific unity version

tiny niche Mar 24, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

i make sure everything is just clone+build on my repos

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

this is a thing that is already fixed so it only needs temporary workaround until next Unity version comes out

#

or version after that, depending how long it takes to traverse there

tiny niche Mar 24, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

its just a package, shouldn't need a unity release to get out there

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 2:16 PM

#

well, not anymore because Unity wanted to make this more painful for experienced users

#

they don't let you upgrade SRP packages anymore via PM for 2021+

#

they only provide new fixes through new Unity versions

#

so if you have a URP bug in just released 2021.1.0f1, to get any URP fix on that you have to install 2021.1.1 or newer

#

SRP packages are now only distributed through Unity core (along with the editor)

#

of course you can still manually use github versions but they really want people to just use the shipped versions now

#

in fact, to make it even more silly, they don't even update the SRP minor version number anymore on 2021 cycle

#

every SRP package is just 11.0 or 12.0 (depending if you use 2021.1 or 2021.2)

#

you can guess my opinion out of these comments but I do really understand why they did this

#

I just dislike how they make more experienced users suffer to make the experience easier for new users

#

or... let Unity Hub just upgrade major releases to latest minor version with a button click, instead of having to uninstall, pick same components and install manually, click few agree buttons along the way every time you want to upgrade

#

anyway, I'll stop this rant here 😄

wraith shale Mar 24, 2021, 3:55 PM

you applied the PR fix?

#

it doesn't really give any info where it's fixed though

#

it basically broke on 2021.1.0a10 when they did that fix for quest

#

(so 2020.3 and earlier are unaffected unless Unity backported that fix)

#

yeah it wasn't broken when I was figuring this one out

I have oculus quest 2, and was about to work on next project, I've created new project in unity, installed xr toolkit, and created new xr rig with room scale. when I hit play and put headset everything is 'attached' to camera view including controllers (I can see rays from controllers point straight, and they're not reacting to any controller movement, also when I added simple cube in the scene, in headset it's moving wherever I'm looking

pine bison Mar 25, 2021, 2:18 PM

If you bought a skybox generator you would assign a skybox material to the Skybox Material under Window>Rendering>Lighting Settings

#

If you are new to Unity I would recommend to spend some time on some tutorials on general Unity things so you get used to the program

#

Then there are quite a few tutorials out there on XR but VR with Andrew is a pretty good channel for getting started

you can read that that error as follows:

Null Reference Exception: This is basically saying "you're trying to do something with an object but I don't have a reference to that object"

This is usually means that you're trying to do something with a gameobject or a reference to one but it's not properly assigned or linked up.

The next part of that error is the ending that says OVRGrabber.cs333 which means the exception is being thrown from line 333 in the script OVRGrabber.cs

From there and looking at your script you can see line 333 is grabbedRigidbody.transform.position = grabbablePosition;

So that line is taking a reference to a rigidbody, gettings it's transform.position and setting it to a new value grabbablePosition.
If you look at line 327 you're declaring a new rigidbody object grabbedRigidbody and setting it equal to m_grabbedObj.grabbedRigidbody

If i had to guess I'd say that whatever m_grabbedObj is the grabbedRigidbody component on that is not properly set. Potentially the grabbablePosition is not properly calculated as the m-GrabbedObjectPosOff is also not properly set.

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:28 PM

#

@pine bison this is what am i getting in project

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:39 PM

#

could someone with a vr headset test an .apk file for me please? it doesn't work on my quest 2, but it does work when i have it plugged into my pc as a rift:/

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

i can test it @brittle echo on my vr headset

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

Cool, what headset do you have?

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

its called Nibiru V30-5G standalone vr

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

Ok

#

The controls may not work for it since I just started making it

#

I’ll dm u the google drive link

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:44 PM

#

no worries tell me what are u testing for ?

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

Just to see if it loads

#

On mine it won’t even go to the made with unity screen

pine bison Mar 28, 2021, 4:45 PM

#

if it doesn't load on your quest why would it on someone elses?

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:46 PM

#

They don’t have a quest

pine bison Mar 28, 2021, 4:46 PM

#

There's probably something wrong with your android settings

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:47 PM

#

Maybe, It works when I plug it in to my pc and pretend it’s a rift

pine bison Mar 28, 2021, 4:47 PM

#

I would recommend setting up a new project and following a guide to build to quest. Once you have that working you can cross check with your other project

scarlet tree Mar 28, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

@brittle echo what plugin are you using?

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

guys before testing out i should check my SDK/NDK then player setting -> XR Setting -> enable virtual reality supported

#

since im a standalone vr i should enable daydream or oculus quest

pine bison Mar 28, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

That's with the old VR system. Are you using that or XR plugin?

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

because the version of unity did not work and Nibiru SDK said 2018 is recommended version i switched to it but i have used the latest one but did not work

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

pine bison That's with the old VR system. Are you using that or XR plugin?

I am

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

in short i used both and none of them worked

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

Hm ok

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

Ole i used Nibiru camera should i use another camera?

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

I’ll continue working on it when I get on my pc

pine bison Mar 28, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

Like I said I have never used this headset or SDK so I can not tell you anything about it

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

i get a package with my vr headset and i used their prefabs camera should i be using another one?

brittle echo Mar 28, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

Ty so much guys!

pine bison Mar 28, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

If they recommend 2018 with legacy XR management I would go for that

#

And I would probably stick to their camera rig yes

odd vortex Mar 28, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

hmmm

Ok. So I have a controller, I would like to have a Direct Interactor to grab object with it and also a Ray Interactor for teleportation. I would like to have both on the same hands.

So I'm developing a game, and when I test it without the vr setup it is possible to click on an object with my mouse and interact with it, but it does not seem to be possible to do this with the vr setup. is there a way to solve this ?

scarlet tree Mar 29, 2021, 10:16 AM

#

do you actually want this functionality in your finished title?

finite nebula Mar 29, 2021, 10:23 AM

#

The game is made to be played in VR so yeah

solar lagoon Mar 29, 2021, 10:33 AM

So you need a headset 🙂

finite nebula Mar 29, 2021, 10:34 AM

#

Yeah but I have one

#

but the it is just for a school project

#

but still I cant find how to make the click work with a joystick and headset

solar lagoon Mar 29, 2021, 10:35 AM

#

Yeah it should work because the way we interact in vr is just based on collider and raycast so

#

Maybe some tweak in the code to make it work and send a raycast at the mouse position

finite nebula Mar 29, 2021, 10:38 AM

#

thanks

I think you need to create XR rig and XR controllers. For me I used unity XR plugins to select the devices I want to support and used XR Interaction Toolkit to create the XR Rig and controls

Anyone uses UI toolkit in worldspace for vr?

#

If yes how do I interact with the elements as I do with normal ugui

pine bison Mar 29, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UI-system-compare.html#rendering

#

As it does not support world space rendering, you can not use UI Toolkit in VR

calm nacelle Mar 29, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

No work around for it?

#

Like taking raycasts and stuff?

#

I have found a way to rendering it in world space by specifying a render texture and putting that render texture on a raw image

#

But now that's just a texture

pine bison Mar 29, 2021, 1:07 PM

I'm not aware of any workaround

Im currently using Unity 2020.x.0f1, and my camera system looks like this

#

I need it to be that way because i need separate cameras for each eye to use a "portal effect"

#

https://gyazo.com/b4b5e5ded68c5090bb44493e94b186e4

Gyazo

#

Like that?

#

Aight, thank you

#

With that out of the way, it works just fine, but apparently i havent initiated XR?

#

yeah

#

Sure, ty for helping

#

The problem is, with it working on the headsets, i render the portal when i look at it for efficiency reasons, and when I call XRSettings.eyeTextureWidth/Height it returns 0

#

Take your time

#

Yes

#

I have it just like that

#

You mean the device?

#

I am using a quest 2, connected via oculus link

#

Yes

#

#

Yes, its been happening for a while now

#

XRSettings.Enabled returns true tho

#

But XRSettings.eyeTexture returns 0

#

Thats what drives me crazy

#

On the XR gameobject??

#

The only script attached is this one on the XR Rig https://gyazo.com/1aeadc2b8b1ed61d94ad5f16b3804c6f

Gyazo

#

Ah

#

#

This is the main camera

#

It lacks the script

#

No, or at least i didn´t think so

#

hahah

#

Swap it for the script that yours have?

#

I need it for teleporting each camera separately

#

Ill try to swap it, that might be it

#

idk

#

hmm I see

#

No idea on why i cannot get the texture dimensions then right? Hahah

#

Its so weird

#

If you do it, do u get a number?

#

In a Debug.Log command

#

Ah yeah sure, sorry

#

I get texture from the eyes just like this

#

I just noticed that in start function its 0, but in update function it returns 2096, which is the correct value

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

Hello !

#

does anyone know the name of the quest 2 controllers ?

#

(the name in the xr plugin)

#

?

hushed spindle Mar 29, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

Ahh I see

#

Let me try that out

#

Thank you so much for the help

#

@slender vine Sorry I have no clue

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

ah okay

#

I have a list of prefab

#

and I search the headset controller name

#

and if it match a prefab name

#

then it show this controller as my hands

#

#

I'm unsure of the quest 2 controller name

#

other should work

#

nope I only own a quest 1

#

would be easier if I had a quest 2 x)

#

It works for the quest 1 so I suppose it's the same but with "quest 2"

#

I mean the name should be about the same but with a "2" added

#

also, nothing to do with that

#

but any idea why virtual studio is retarded from time to time ?

#

#

sometime it just do stuff like that, even tho it works in unity it tell me there is an error (even if it was perfectly fine one hour ago)

#

it's not mine, I'm following a tutorial but here it is :

#

void Start()
    {
        
        List<InputDevice> devices = new List<InputDevice>();
        InputDevices.GetDevicesWithCharacteristics(controllerCharacteristics, devices);

        foreach (var item in devices)
        {
            Debug.Log(item.name + item.characteristics);
        }

        if(devices.Count > 0)
        {
            targetDevice = devices[0];
            GameObject prefab = controllerPrefabs.Find(controller => controller.name == targetDevice.name);
            if(prefab)
            {
                spawnedController = Instantiate(prefab, transform);
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.LogError("Did Not Find Controller");
                spawnedController = Instantiate(controllerPrefabs[0],transform);
            }

            spawnedHandModel = Instantiate(handModelPrefab, transform);
            handAnimator = spawnedHandModel.GetComponent<Animator>();
        }

but this script works

I just need the oculus quest 2 controller name

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:19 PM

#

the xr ones

#

I don't have a quest 2

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

@slender vine you could have just given the whole script instead of part of it

#

I have Q2 here but I will not fix your script to find what you are looking for. Give me code that prints whatever you need from the controller and I can paste it here 🙂

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

ok

#

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR;
public class scriptname : MonoBehaviour {
  private InputDevice targetDevice;
  public InputDeviceCharacteristics controllerCharacteristics;
  void Start()
      {
      List<InputDevice> devices = new List<InputDevice>();
      InputDevices.GetDevicesWithCharacteristics(controllerCharacteristics, devices);
      foreach (var item in devices)
        {
            Debug.Log(item.name + item.characteristics);
        }
      targetDevice = devices[0];
      Debug.Log(targetDevice.name);
      }
}

#

I'm unsure

#

but if you choose right controller in the unity editor

#

it should print the name of your controller I think

#

the whole script I use to choose which controller to display is this one :

#

📎 message.txt

#

it's also used to display a hand model instead of a controller

#

yeah

#

Yeah only need the name of the quest 2 controllers

#

I just made a quick standalone script without testing it

#

I'm quite a beginner to programming

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:38 PM

#

yeah that will not work

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:39 PM

#

you need to specify that in unity

#

#

2020.03.0f1

#

I'm using the new xr action based input system

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:40 PM

#

wraith shale yeah that will not work

what will not work ?

#

The only thing I'm asking here is what is the name of the oculus quest 2 controller

#

my script does works

#

(well not really my script, I mean the script I'm using)

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

that script

#

it doesn't print anything as is

#

anyway, this is what input debugger reports via OculusXR (connected via Oculus Link):

#

same thing via OpenXR:

#

afaik you can't differentiate the Quest 1 and 2 controllers via input system atm but I could me mistaken

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:42 PM

#

you can

#

it's because with oculus link it use rift s controller irc

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:43 PM

#

wraith shale it doesn't print anything as is

Im curious why ?

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:44 PM

#

I know oculus integration from asset store itself does detect the q2 controllers proper but I always assumed they detected the device through different api

#

oculusXR does return something

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:49 PM

#

wraith shale it doesn't print anything as is

you're wrong

#

it does print

#

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

you see what's happening on my computer? 😄

#

this is what OpenXR "prints"

#

it actually breaks because there's nothing to print

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:50 PM

#

OculusXR does print what I posted earlier

#

yeah I just set it to controller

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

well it's weird

#

for me it works

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

@slender vine #🥽┃virtual-reality message

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

yeah but it's with the link

#

so it show the rift s controller :/

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

I don't get it

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

I'm using theses packages

#

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

you want to run this on PC with Quest, your options are either link or VD

#

I don't really get what you are trying to achieve here

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

no I want the name of the quest 2 controller

#

because I want this to run on pc and quest 1&2

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

yes but there's only so many ways you can connect this to PC

#

link or virtual desktop

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

or I can just run it on quest

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

and OculusXR, OpenXR and OpenVR

#

I've tried first two

#

well, if you run it on quest, you already know it's quest...

#

no need to detect the controllers 😄

#

I mean, you'd only need to know which one

#

and there's api for that

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

yes that's why I have a list which choose the right controller

#

Yup

#

so I can make it work for virtually any headset

#

any platform

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

you really need the target device if you plan on developing for it though

#

at least if you do native quest 2 app

#

well, the person just used argument on it working natively on quest so that was response for that

#

anyway, good luck 🙂

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

you know the only thing I need is just the controller name to make it works on quest 2 and have the right controller displayed ?

#

yeah

wraith shale Mar 29, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

that wouldn't work on all devices

slender vine Mar 29, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

@wary junco question, how can I make a line visual Reticle disappear when it's disabled ?

#

#

the XR Interactor Line Visual

#

okay

#

the idea is that I use this script to show the teleport ray interactor when I'm pushing the thumb stick toward me

#

and then I click to tp

#

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR;
using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit;


public class teleportationToggle : MonoBehaviour
{
    public XRNode inputSource;
    [SerializeField] private XRRayInteractor _teleportRayInteractor;
    [SerializeField] private Vector2 stickposition;
    [SerializeField] private XRInteractorLineVisual _teleportLineVisual;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {

        _teleportRayInteractor = GetComponent<XRRayInteractor>();
        _teleportLineVisual = GetComponent<XRInteractorLineVisual>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        InputDevice device = InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(inputSource);
        device.TryGetFeatureValue(CommonUsages.primary2DAxis, out stickposition);
        if(stickposition.y <= -0.5f)
        {
            _teleportRayInteractor.enabled = true;
            _teleportLineVisual.enabled = true;
        }
        else  
        {
            _teleportRayInteractor.enabled = false;
            _teleportLineVisual.enabled = false;
        }

        
    }
}

#

guess I'll just have to disable the reticle game object ?

#

add "cs" for c sharp just after the ```

#

like this :

#

```cs
code code code
```

#

issue is that the gameobject stay where it was after the line renderer disapear

#

I'm guessing I just have to disable the gameobject / enable it

#

#

this is the reticle

#

wouldn't just disabling it when not pushing the thumbstick toward me work ? (I only enable tp when the thumbstick is pushed toward me)

#

that's what I do

#

#

ah yeah

#

it's not that efficient here

#

because it's in "update()"

#

I'm super noob so idk how to do it better x)

#

ok

#

because the only thing I see about input is that :

#

#

not really useful

#

Yeah like would be cool to have a "OnThumbstickValue" or idk

#

something that trigger whenever a button reach a threshold

#

yeah so fun changing input system every 6 months

#

and not giving good documentation

#

quick question

#

what's an enum ?

#

i'm super beginner

#

and never needed one for now

#

are enums like a list ?

#

because like it assign value to word

#

a bit like where is the word in a list ?

#

yeah I understand that

#

and you can assign whatever value you want

#

be it a boolean, a byte, a float, an int, etc ?

#

so can i use it like if the value is between 0-20 it's left, if the value is between 20-30 it's right etc ?

#

I'm watching the unity tutorial

#

you can asign it not only to ints

#

oky

#

okay

#

what do you do when you have a long list of "if" and "elif"

#

xd

#

sound complicated

#

yeah

#

Lots of stuff to learn

#

like I never remember how do I find a gameobject in my scene x)

#

I made one game before

#

and it's ugly to say the least

#

what is a manager ?

#

ah thx

#

unity didn't show anything

#

can you make an exemple ? Like instead of "gameObjectName = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("GameObjectTag");

#

what would it look like with a singleton ?

#

okay

#

I have a hard time understanding how this script works, sorry x)

#

but thanks anyway, I'll try to learn it from now on !

#

ok wow

#

i'm dropping 7 fps

#

when pushing the thumbstick

#

oh thanks

#

yeah that's smart

#

question : I have only two thing checking if my thumbstick is under 0.5f on the y axis

#

and when I move my thumb stick

#

(even left right)

#

i drop 7 fps

#

gonna check it

#

it's worse without my script that enable / disable ray caster

#

are they that performance hungry ?

#

ray casters

#

okay that's quite weird

#

my cpu is at 10% but it's the bottleneck

#

and also

#

when I disable things

#

I get worse performances

#

probleme solved

#

it's just the editor ?

#

idk the name

#

when I'm on a gameobject with lots of moving value

#

it lower my fps

#

it's

#

fucking

#

dumb

#

like seriously, showing me a transform value is lowering by half my fps ???

#

(while not even using my cpu more)

#

(and with a ryzen 7 3700x at 4.3ghz)

#

yeah

#

but it take time and I do so much test that it's not worth it

#

but in the future, I will if I want to do a performance check

#

yeah

#

although it's noticeable in vr

scarlet tree Mar 29, 2021, 8:54 PM

1: please don't use findObjectWithTag unless you absolutely have to...

2: consider doing a short course in Unity. The 2D and 3D courses on Udemy are quite good. I'll be perfectly honest, you want to have a good grasp on making games in general before jumping into VR Dev.

Hi All! Has anyone else experienced installing the OpenXR package and then having the package manager get stuck continuously "Resolving Packages" over and over?

ive been having these annoying performance problems on an oculus quest 2 project
its really strange because theres almost nothing even in the scene
im getting well below 60fps, my logcat tells me this:
FPS=52/72,Prd=48ms,Tear=0,Early=0,Stale=61,VSnc=1,Lat=1,Fov=0,CPU4/GPU=4/3,1478/490MHz,OC=FF,TA=0/0/0,SP=N/N/N,Mem=1353MHz,Free=3234MB,PLS=0,Temp=33.5C/0.0C,TW=1.76ms,App=19.44ms,GD=0.00ms,CPU&GPU=32.07ms,LCnt=1,GPU%=1.00,CPU%=0.16(W0.23),DSF=1.00
which seems like the cpu and gpu isnt being used at all???? so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, ive been trying to fix this all day

#

this is basically all thats in my scene, only around 2k tris and 6k verts

jade jacinth Mar 30, 2021, 3:11 AM

Have you tried making a new scene and importing the basic elements?

ill try that

Hey Guys, does anyone here work with SteamVR and did a custom Hand?
Im running into this and cant find a solution to fix this...

solar lagoon Mar 30, 2021, 10:45 AM

Your hand is funny.

#

Personnaly I used the Oculus one. From Valem tutorial.

meager falcon Mar 30, 2021, 11:45 AM

#

@solar lagoon - within steam vr?

#

Dont now what makes the hand so weird looking.. when draging the hand into the scene, everything is fine. Only after SteamVR adds the hand to the prefab, it looks like that.

odd hare Mar 30, 2021, 12:34 PM

Are the bones attached badly and pulling it wrong?

solar lagoon Mar 30, 2021, 1:05 PM

meager falcon <@!303242775577624577> - within steam vr?

No I am using OpenXr. Steamvr plugin is not compatible with Unity 2020

meager falcon Mar 30, 2021, 1:56 PM

#

@odd hare - No, not really. When i grab the model into the scene and rotate the bones manually, everything works great

solar lagoon Mar 30, 2021, 3:45 PM

#

It’s not that complex to get value. You find the inputAction you need and create a variable for it. From there you can read it with method called Read<T>.

#

Or you register to the callback with .performed method

scarlet tree Mar 30, 2021, 4:31 PM

or started. or canceled.

#

don't forget those two, they're important

expecially for low level stuff like getting the HMD status

I need help, if anyone had an interaction with NibiruXR i would much appreciate the help as i have tried everything to make it work.

scarlet tree Mar 30, 2021, 7:59 PM

#

meanwhile, i've learned that waving something large in front of the player's face tanks the framerate on quest.

#

which is just wonderful, because one of the core components of this game is waving around a pair of oversized novelty axes

solar lagoon Mar 30, 2021, 8:35 PM

#

The public is not the same.. quest is cheap but not powerful

#

So a lot of optimization is required

#

The vive/index required a powerful graphic card so you have that horse power for your game :p

odd hare Mar 30, 2021, 10:23 PM

meager falcon <@!459578788024680451> - No, not really. When i grab the model into the scene an...

But when it looks bad, is that because the bones have shifted? Check if the bones are still in the same place, or if they have moved - and if they've moved, try manually moving them back to the "right" position and see if that fixes the hand. That way you'll know if it's a bone/skinning issue, or a model geometry issue. Even if the rigging is right, the way the VR system moves the bones to create the different gestures might not be set up correctly - problems can be two or more "steps away" from their symptoms.

meager falcon Mar 30, 2021, 10:25 PM

#

@odd hare - The original steamvr Gloves bone transform is 0/0/0.. mine have a rotation, but i dont know how i can get rid of the rotation. i already applied rotation in Blender 😂

odd hare Mar 30, 2021, 10:28 PM

#

hmm. If you've changed the bones rotation in Blender and applied that, you've hit the limits of my suggestions, because they're now in new positions so you need a new avatar/mapping to know how to position and animate them. You can't reuse poses and animations if the bones aren't set up exactly the same (if they're named the same you can sometimes retarget them) and I'm not expert enough to know what the right settings or setup process is, sorry!

meager falcon Mar 30, 2021, 10:29 PM

#

Maybe i just import the original bones to blender and map them to the mesh again.

odd hare Mar 30, 2021, 10:29 PM

#

All I can suggest is to try importing the gloves to blender, then exporting without any changes - get that working, then start making changes until it breaks. That might help narrow down where the issue is.

#

Yeah, if you can use the original bones, do that.

#

Don't change the bones ever, unless you need a new rig.

meager falcon Mar 30, 2021, 10:30 PM

#

yes i did that, but maybe i destoryed the bones.

#

Ty

odd hare Mar 30, 2021, 10:30 PM

Good luck!

vestal flicker Mar 31, 2021, 12:17 AM

FYI, SteamVR poser does not actually mirror bone quaternions when pose mirroring (if that's causing your problem). In their hand prefabs they neg scaled the model for the other hand instead. Even though they included both hand models in the package they only used one of them.

Im trying to start making VR games, so i started watching a YouTube tutorial by Valem, and on the second part he talks about hand/controller prefabs, but once i changed my code from working for only the right hand to working for both i couldnt see my hands prefabs.

I'm just using poliigon and other similar sites to get my 3D models. It's a project for school and we're not supposed to make our own models. So I download the model that includes all of the textures.

This is for example a model of a rock with its textures I downloaded.

I've decreased the base map colour to temporarily fix it but it ends up being kinda just darkened and washed out, any idea how to retain original image like it does in the editor? Thanks.

#

wraith shale Mar 31, 2021, 10:18 PM

@brazen tundra you can't use old Unity's VR system on 2020 anymore because it's removed from it. You have to use new XR management setup

#

recent SteamVR package from asset store DOES work with the new XR management system

#

but this means you have to reconfig your project to work with the current workflow

turns out that OVR Metrics was reporting perfect performance until i opened and closed Dash

#

2020.1

#

then it told me i was getting 45 fps lol

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

so still framerate issues?

olive rose Apr 1, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

yep, so i turned on the gpu profiler and turns out SSAO and Post Processing were using the most gpu

#

so i turned those off and my performance is much better

#

but i do want to use PP, is there any way to use it without so much of a perf impact

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 1:55 AM

#

Well you should be hitting 90 no problem in an empty scene on the quest 2 first off

#

I personally use only baked lighting and the the Oculus recommended settings for the quest

olive rose Apr 1, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

yeah for some reason in my old project i was getting 30fps on an empty scene

#

no clue why

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

Are you using single or multipass rendering?

olive rose Apr 1, 2021, 1:57 AM

#

multipass i believe

#

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 1:58 AM

#

Okay, multipass isn't recommended for mobile. Actually, Oculus will say that to pass their review for their store you need to be in single-pass. At least for the Quest 1 that was the case

#

Also, you'll either be at 45 or 90 locked.

#

due to async-spacewarp

olive rose Apr 1, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

oh

#

i see

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

when you rotate your head, you'll not get judder due to the sync, but your hands will be laggy like you mentioned before

olive rose Apr 1, 2021, 1:59 AM

#

oh i was at 45 on 72fps

#

so i dont think it was asw

#

how do i switch to singlepass?

#

i only see multipass or multiview

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

So, I may not be able to help there since I'm using 2019.4, and I'm using the Oculus SDK Plugin instead of the new XR system.

olive rose Apr 1, 2021, 2:00 AM

#

oh

#

but how would you do it on 2019?

#

i might be able to figure it out

#

i think i have both oculus integration and the xr system installed

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 2:02 AM

#

Actually, looks like I did a demo project using the new system on 2019.4, here's what it looks like

#

but this setting is probably the most impactful for VR performance

olive rose Apr 1, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

oh im developing for quest

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

my bad

olive rose Apr 1, 2021, 2:04 AM

#

sorry for not clarifying

#

is single pass not available on quest?

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 2:06 AM

#

Ahhhhh okay

#

They call Single Pass Stereo rendering, "Multiview" in the XR system

#

so if you are multiview, you are using single pass

#

@marble wolf you had some words abotu that earlier, got any ideas?

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 11:20 AM

#

You probably have a shader that is using a depth buffer. When you are in multi view , the Quest strips the depth buffer information so that may be why it’s not being rendered. I have a water asset that becomes invisible when I use multi view

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 11:23 AM

but that'd just not render one shader, not everything

So PC, single pass/multi view doesn’t have this issue right?

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 11:31 AM

#

not as far as I know

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 11:31 AM

#

Well if you hit play button and you can see everything fine then yeah

#

Unity version?

#

And see if you have multi view enabled in settings for PC, not just android.

#

And see if the behavior is the same

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 11:34 AM

#

2020.2.1

#

...the heck

#

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 11:38 AM

#

You only started getting that after switching to multi view?

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 11:38 AM

#

as far as I can tell

#

let me switch back

#

wtf now it's black in multi pass

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 11:41 AM

#

For PC?

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 11:43 AM

#

on quest

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 11:43 AM

#

So, when you run on PC,
Single and multi pass work fine then?

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 11:44 AM

#

give me a sec.

#

switching platforms is always a pain

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 11:46 AM

#

You@don’t need to switch platforms to do a PC run though

#

Hitting play is the same as PC behavior

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 11:47 AM

#

but yes, in the editor on PC, everything runs fine

#

with both stereo rendering modes

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 11:48 AM

#

Okay, so it’s Quest specific. Does your scene use baked lighting

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 11:48 AM

#

gonna quickly reboot my headset and unity

#

yes

#

non-directional, as recommended

#

i'll do a quick test in my empty scene too

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 11:50 AM

#

Ok, and when you do that, also delete the actual APK file on the Quest under Unknown Sources. It’s possible the Quest is not replacing it with the latest build from Unity. This could be due to app signing security feature

#

I found this out when debugging with ADB

#

And if that doesn’t work, then I’d check package manager, and ensure you have the latest version of XR

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 12:03 PM

#

checking renderdoc.

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 12:03 PM

#

The reason why it works for PC in both single/multi is because the depth buffer optimization stripping doesn’t happen for PC, only quest. And I think when you tried to revert back to mutipass first the quest, your latest build didn’t deploy, so deleting the APK may give you a working scene again after you revert

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 12:16 PM

#

nnnope

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 12:18 PM

#

So it works neither in multi or single pass on Quest, but works fine for PC on both?

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 12:18 PM

#

honestly, I probably just screwed up the whole thing. I'm reverting all my changes

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 12:19 PM

#

Gotcha. Probably shader related

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 12:19 PM

#

thing is it was working yesterday in multi pass (just at like, 50fps on quest)

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 12:21 PM

#

Yeah my project uses multi pass as well, since one of my assets uses a shader with a depth buffer. Performance gains are significant though with single pass if you can get it in though. Luckily my scene is low object count and all my assets are low poly

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 12:23 PM

#

you're gonna have to modify that shader

#

afaik, you have to go multiview to get on quest store?

#

aaand I'm still getting a black screen.

marble wolf Apr 1, 2021, 12:30 PM

#

For the Quest 1 I think multi view was a hard requirement. Not sure now. There’s a page with Oculus Store app criteria requirements somewhere

#

Another thing you can try is making another scene and just drag over things one by one till you find the culprit. If it black screens before you start transferring stuff, then it’s project settings related

#

Instead of scene related

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 3:20 PM

#

How do I enable Input Actions like the msg is asking me to do?

#

I followed Valem's XR tutorial, but not sure what is happening here

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 3:46 PM

#

Screenshot of your XR Base Controller commponent?

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 4:10 PM

#

@scarlet tree Thanks for your reply!

#

#

#

Is this what you are talking about?

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 4:11 PM

#

the heck

#

is that properly set on both controllers?

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

....

#

OH

#

OH YEAH

#

sorry, lol

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 4:12 PM

#

scarlet tree is that properly set on both controllers?

Not sure

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 4:13 PM

#

you need to add an Input Action Manager component to your base XR Rig 🙂

#

I freaking swear, why it's not automatically added on a default Action based XR rig I'll never know

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 4:13 PM

#

#

Which one?

#

The first one right?

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 4:14 PM

#

I did say "Input Action manager". 🙂

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 4:14 PM

#

You did hehe

#

It's working now! Thanks a lot @scarlet tree !

scarlet tree Apr 1, 2021, 4:24 PM

#

all good

posted this in #archived-code-general but its also a vr problem

hi! im making a vr tennis game, and im having trouble finding a way to move the racket. I tried parenting the racket to the controller but since its not controlled by the physics engine it goes right through physics objects. Rigidbody.MovePosition and rotation works sort of, but its very innacurate and it always hits the ball REALLY hard even when you hit it lightly (it also jitters a lot, dont know why). I tried to use a fixed joint, which actually works pretty well as i can edit the mass scale which lets me hit the ball much softer than the moveposition function does, but on most of the hits it goes right through the object as well. how should i go about doing this?

solar lagoon Apr 1, 2021, 8:05 PM

#

Parenting is the right way IMO. but you should have a mesh collider + rigibbody on your racket obviously.

#

I have another question. I am trying to move with the primary 2D axis o the controller which is a vector2 .

#

but is there a way of converting this vector to actually representation direction? forward , backward; left right?

I'd consider trying different rigidbody collision detection modes and also potentially adjusting some of the physics settings with things like contact offsets but that can be a bit tricky.

Depending on what type of game or app you're making the 'best' experience from a 'this feels good' would probably be to calculate the ball force yourself when you collide with the ball, basically using unity's physics to detect collision but manually calculating how the ball should react with code.

I also have the same question

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 9:49 PM

#

Can you describe what you're trying to do with the joystick? If you're moving a character for example and your input looks like (0.5, 1.0) you could move a character in X and Z so something like...

Vector2 joyStickInput = GetJoyStickInput();
Vector3 moveVector = new Vector3(joystickInput.x, 0, joystickInput.y);

Character.Translate(moveVector);```

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:26 PM

#

leaden flame Can you describe what you're trying to do with the joystick? If you're moving a ...

In my case I wanna be able to get the dpad value and also check if the touchpad button north/south/etc are being pressed

#

#

I can see there is a code for that

#

But I cannot find how to setup the code

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 10:33 PM

#

brazen tundra

Did you modify those actions? Just want to make sure I understand what you're trying to do. You want to read the dpad (joystick?) value and also see if the joystick or touchpad is being pressed? what controllers are you building for?

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:34 PM

#

The "Rotate Anchor" was already there

#

And yes, I want to read the dpad/joystick/touchpad value and also check if they are being pressed

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 10:34 PM

#

Yeah I see one but I only have a single action Primary2DAxis [LeftHand Xr Controller]

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:34 PM

#

I'm building for all devices, vive, oculus, wmr etc

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:35 PM

#

leaden flame Yeah I see one but I only have a single action `Primary2DAxis [LeftHand Xr Contr...

That's how it was

#

I can modify it, it seems

#

The problem is the code

#

if (leftController.activateAction.action.ReadValue<float>() > 0)

#

This is for the trigger

#

It works

#

But for the touchpad/joystick, I can't figure it out

#

I get stuck here

#

if (leftController.rotateAnchorAction

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 10:38 PM

#

does this work?

Vector2 joystickValue = leftController.rotateAnchor.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:38 PM

#

Let me check

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

The input system has a lot of complexity but the default input actions from XRI should be used more like actions. I think if you want to just read the value setting up something this would be better. Adding additional actions you can link into that have the exactly value you're looking for.

#

so the code here would be something like

if (leftController.JoystickClick.action.ReadValue<bool>())
{
      Vector2 joystickValue = leftController.JoystickValue.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();
      // do something with joystick value
}```

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:45 PM

#

leaden flame so the code here would be something like ``` if (leftController.JoystickClick.a...

So, I tried to do that

#

Per example, I made a custom button called Dpad North

#

But how do I make it appear in the code leftController.DpadNorth

#

So it would look like this

#

if (leftController.DpadNorth.action.ReadValue<bool>())

#

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 10:47 PM

#

what's the binding for DpadNorth?

#

first thing I see is that the binding is a Vector2 since it's the primary axis so reading the value into a bool probably won't work or what you're looking for.

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

Makes sense

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

Are you trying to determine if the joystick is pushed up as in, leanining towards the top half of the joystick area?

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

Yes

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

is that what you mean by north?

brazen tundra Apr 1, 2021, 10:48 PM

#

Yes

#

In SteamVR there is an option like that

leaden flame Apr 1, 2021, 10:50 PM

#

so then to do that you'd query the 2D vector and check if it's about the half way point in the x value

#

I can't remember if the value is 1 to -1, if that's the case you could check if the x value is greater than something like 0.1 and assume it's in the 'north' position

#

might need to do a little more to make sure it's not in the deadzone or not being pressed, but yeah
