#

This can be particularly difficult however, as the model you are using needs to have a right-handed orientation system

#

When applying the finger joint rotation, you want to put it in LateUpdate, so it happens after the animation and IK pass

#

That should get you started at least

green widget
#

Actually I already did this but using a normal Oculus Rift controller before ( and so far it works )

#

Then as for now i want to change from controller -> Quest hand tracking

#

(By using the same avatar)

#

Is it possible to do it ?

hard carbon
#

yep, so thats where that last step comes into play. You need to map the finger bones of the avatar to the bone transforms returned by OVRSkeleton

green widget
#

Then after that step done > enable hand tracking support etc2 then it should work i believe ?

hard carbon
#

Yep, so the OVRSkeleton will be on the OVRHand objects you will need to setup to get hand tracking working

#

I advise to get the base hand tracking working, then move from there

#

This is just because once you have their normal handtracking in there, you can legit just switch off their renderer and use this system and it will work from there

green widget
#

I see

#

Okay noted on that

#

Thanks fo the advise and reply !

Hello! I think I might have asked this before, but I didn't really get an answer that explained it, so I'm hoping someone here knows. I'm wondering what the Virtual Reality Splash Image is and how it differs from a Logo?

Atm, our splash shows up in our VR game, but when I click Preview, I only see the unity logo in the game window in Unity. I don't really understand what's happening here 🙂

Thanks for any clarification on this!

unknown.png
#

Do I need to add our logo under "Logos" as well for our VR project? (it's part of the VR splash screen already)

#

how would you take input to trigger pause menu in vr?

If you don't get an answer it should be quick enough to just try and see what happens @neon meteor

I will try again more methodically.

#

can anyone please share a pause menu script in vr?

rapid pike
tawny knoll
#

are there any unity VR character controllers that are free?

lofty tangle
#

To pause a game in Unity, simply set the time scale to zero to pause it and back to one (the default) to unpause it again.

quick fossil
#

no thats not the problem

#

when i use input

#

xr grab interactable doesnt work for some reason

#

i dont need to change time scale since there is nothing that will still run in the background

lofty tangle
#

so then how did you think a pause script would help with your input issue?

quick fossil
#

idk

#

i am just trying everything i can

#

and it really feels like i am making some very stupid mistake

buoyant jolt
#

A logo, by comparison, is only visible in non-VR mode.

#

So if you use a VR headset, you won’t see those.

Anyone figured out a solution for VR File Browser? (I know you could technically put others on a world space canvas, but no way to interact with it?). Working on one, but kind of hoping something better has come out that I havent found yet?

Edit: "No way to interact with it" - I built my own XR System on top of Unitys new Input system and I dont use Ray Casting... just "physical touch" (trigger coolider on specific layer) unless someone has a suggestion for that too

What do you guys use to know the scale of something in VR? like a room and such, how do you estimate it to be good for everyone short or tall

# storm ether Yes
  1. Why the hell would you ever want to do that.
  2. Render textures are the things you are looking for
storm ether
#

1 . It's fun

#

2 . But I want it on, i.e. without rendering textures

terse verge
#

hello people! I was thinking about using unity to make VR games and I thought I could come here to ask how well optimized the engine is for this task

north path
#

Many VR games are made in Unity and it's pretty optimized/allows for lots of optimisation @terse verge

#

And not too hard if you have unity experience

terse verge
#

Thanks for the info, ill get started then

nova meteor
#

Not pre rendered textures

#

Render textures

#

Assign the render texture to a material and put that material on your virtual screen

Unless you're just trying to make a mini game inside a main game in which case yea sure

Does anyone here have any ideas on how I can grab onto this game object and have it rotate on the axis. I want the position to freeze and the rotation on the z to freeze as well. I have a rigidbody set up to do the freezing already, but I don't know how to grab/rotate it without setting it as a child to my hands.

Do local rotations maybe

Having a weird issue running a build in the Quest 2. I built the game, then installed it onto the headset using SideQuest (using the latest version). When I try to run it, this happens, and the tracking slows down a bit too. My last build works fine on it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello! I have a shader that was developed by a character artist (more versed w/ Unreal than Unity) who made a shader in ShaderGraph - we are building a VR game and want to make the shader compatible with single pass instancing / multiview, does anyone have any examples or suggestions on how to do this?

storm ether
#

Yo! waddup, kinda new to this whole vr development thing, and had a few questions. So, i set my right controller of my oculus rift s as a gun model, and the model loads, it tracks movement etc. The model has a script attached although, Im confused how to pull the trigger, I have tried for a couple hours and I am getting tired. I just need some assistance, please HMU in dms!

how the hell do i get the axis of the right controller of an oculus rift in unity? i've been trying to get left/right turning to work for the entire day now, its frustrating af

buoyant jolt
languid bay
#

im new to vr dev in unity so idk, im using whatever comes in unity 2020.3.16f1

#

i got the left stick moving the character but i just need the right stick to rotate

buoyant jolt
#

Do whatever you did for the left stick, but change the axis id

languid bay
# 
float movex = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
        float movez = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;
        Vector3 move = transform.forward * movex + transform.right * movez;
        rb.transform.Translate(move * PlayerSpeed);

        float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(transform.rotation.x, mousex * 5, transform.rotation.z);

this is what i got

buoyant jolt
#

I literally cannot read minds, so I have no idea what you are using, did do, doing or trying to do

languid bay
#

im not getting any output from Joy X

buoyant jolt
#

Joy X doesn’t look setup at all

languid bay
buoyant jolt
#

It needs to be setup as axis 4 & 5

#

Don’t override the joy num

#

That should be set to all

languid bay
#

i just need left/right movement, but yea, i've already tried 4th axis

#

even on all

buoyant jolt
#

Can you share a screenshot of your ‘Vertical’ input please

languid bay
buoyant jolt
#

But I am starting to suspect the input system could be set to the new input system

tiny niche
#

no reason not to use the new input system, so could just fix the code

buoyant jolt
#

Are you 100% sure it isn’t working? Your code isn’t rotating, it is applying only a rotation of -5 to +5 degrees at most

#

There are a lot of reasons not to use the new input system 😄

# 
        float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(transform.rotation.x, mousex * 5, transform.rotation.z);
#

That last line doesn’t do what you think it does

languid bay
#

figured

buoyant jolt
# 
        float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.Rotate(new Vector3(transform.rotation.x, mousex * 5f, transform.rotation.z));
#

That’s probably what you wanted to do

tiny niche
#

@languid bay this is why you should always use the debugger and step through the code when diagnosing problems

buoyant jolt
#

What yours was doing is locking the Y axis to (approx) -0.15 and +0.15 degrees. You wouldn’t notice it in the game, it would look unmoving

tiny niche
#

transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(transform.rotation.x, mousex * 5, transform.rotation.z); should also do the trick

They don't though. The fragment shader parts sometimes need to be adapted to the mode you're using

#

Sometimes true for the vertex shader too

shut knot
#

Yeah so just to clarify the shader works, it just draws 2x the tris similar to if it were running in multi pass

#

I think I need to make some input textures spi compatible but that's not possible today?

#

What is the difference between OVRPlugin.version, OVRPlugin.nativeSDKVersion, and OVRPlugin.wrapperVersion?

tiny niche
#

@balmy comet they're all different pieces of software

balmy comet
#

@tiny niche mind elaborating?

tiny niche
#

well the ovr plugin is the unity plugin

#

the native sdk is made by the headset manufacturer

#

and the wrapper version likely refers to a specific piece of the ovr plugin

#

@balmy comet more importantly, why does it matter?

balmy comet
#

I'm trying to relate information about a headset to a particular device ID that I'm generating for each headset

#

I am learning Unity. Right now I have a Canvas with 3 buttons on it. I added UIHelpers to the hierarchy. Under that I changed the Ray Transform to RightHandAnchor under the event system under the UIHelpers. I also added OVR Physics Raycaster to the OVRCameraRig. I am able to see the laser pointer and click on the buttons (Using Oculus Quest) and they change to the selected color, but when I just hover over them they don't change to the highlighted color. I am not sure how to figure out what is going wrong. Seems like the event must not be going to the right place or getting generated to begin with. How do I debug this?

balmy comet
#

Anyone have any ideas as to how I can retrieve the firmware version of my Quest device through Unity?

languid bay
#

im having an issue where when i turn with my right joystick on the oculus quest, it moves which way "forward", so when i push forward on the left joystick to move "forward", if i turn, i end up going sideways, heres my code

float movex = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
        float movez = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;
        Vector3 move = transform.forward * movex + -transform.right * movez;
        transform.Translate(move * PlayerSpeed);

        float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.Rotate(new Vector3(transform.rotation.x, mousex * TurningSpeed, transform.rotation.z));

not entirely sure whats going on

lofty tangle
languid bay
#

i am using transform.translate to move the player?

lofty tangle
#

i know. but that can have issues, move strait through walls. as it doesn't handle collisions

languid bay
#

oh you said wouldn't

lofty tangle
#

yeah. i would not use it to move the player.

#

as it doesn't handle collision

languid bay
#

what would you suggest?

lofty tangle
#

most would use the Character Controller component, or use a RigidBody and collider combo.

#

with a character controller it would be characterController.Move(transform.rotation * move * PlayerSpeed);
instead of the transform.Translate(...

languid bay
#

well, im trying to test that code and perhaps switch over to charactercontroller but now unity/my game won't grab my headset

lofty tangle
#

yeah well if you don't want to build around one of those right now just multiplying your transform.rotation by your move vector should solve your rotation issue.

languid bay
#

if i can get it to work

#

it was just working wtf

#

why is unity not grabbing my headset???

#

fixed

#

now to test

languid bay
# lofty tangle yeah well if you don't want to build around one of those right now just multiply...

so i got this

float movex = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
        float movez = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;
        Vector3 move = cc.transform.forward * movex + cc.transform.right * movez;
        cc.Move(transform.rotation * move * PlayerSpeed);

        float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
        cc.transform.Rotate(new Vector3(cc.transform.rotation.x, mousex * TurningSpeed, cc.transform.rotation.z));

and im still getting the same behavior

#

ontop of the same behavior, im now in the ceilingn :l

#

nvm i think i fixed the height issue

#

but still moving which way "forward" is

lofty tangle
languid bay
#

thats the character controller

lofty tangle
#

you only really need to use cc.Move()
for its movement function. there is no need to have cc. all over the place.

languid bay
#

ok

#

so like this

# 
float movex = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
        float movez = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;
        Vector3 move = transform.forward * movex + transform.right * movez;
        cc.Move(transform.rotation * move * PlayerSpeed);

        float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
        cc.transform.Rotate(new Vector3(transform.rotation.x, mousex * TurningSpeed, transform.rotation.z));
#

same issue

lofty tangle
#

~~cc.~~transfrom.Rotate.

languid bay
#

oh right

#

but i bet it'd still do the same thing

lofty tangle
#

yeah.

#

probably

#

so right now you move left right forward back, then if you turn 90 degrees. right is forward ets? correct?

languid bay
#

yea basically

#

not exaclty but yea, rotation changes

lofty tangle
#

well yeah basically what is happening is that the input is moving the player forward when you use forward input even if you rotate. but it is moving according to world coordinates. what you need to do is make the move direction relative to your local rotation. let me check somthing real quick

languid bay
#

isn't there a thing for that?

lofty tangle
#

well the easiest way is multiplying a rotation to the vector. quanternion * vector3 but if it didnt work i think im missing something so let me check something real quick

languid bay
#

alright, thanks for helping my stupid ass

lofty tangle
#

okay i got it. Relative Direction, youll want to use the camera. (reason: so that pressing forward will be forward relative to what the player sees.)

you can isolate the y rotation of your camera like this Quaternion cameraYaw = Quaternion.Euler(0, Camera.main.transform.localEulerAngles.y, 0);

then you want to do the quanternion * vector3 thing i mentioned before.

and your input is what you want to use for the vector3.
something like: Vector3 moveInput = new Vector3(movex, 0, movez) ;

so like Vector3 move = cameraYaw * moveInput;
then you can do the cc.Move(...)

#

@languid bay

languid bay
#

ok so

#

let me see if i got this right

# 
Quaternion cameraYaw = Quaternion.Euler(0, Camera.main.transform.localEulerAngles.y, 0);
        float movex = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
        float movez = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;
        //Vector3 move = transform.forward * movex + transform.right * movez;
        Vector3 moveInput = new Vector3(movex, 0, movez);
        cc.Move(cameraYaw * moveInput * PlayerSpeed);

        float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
        transform.Rotate(new Vector3(transform.rotation.x, mousex * TurningSpeed, transform.rotation.z));

yea?

lofty tangle
# 
//isolates the main cameras yaw
Quaternion cameraYaw = Quaternion.Euler(0, Camera.main.transform.localEulerAngles.y, 0);

float movex = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
float movez = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
Vector3 moveInput = new Vector3(movex, 0, movez);

//orientate the input vector relative to the camera yaw
Vector3 move = cameraYaw * moveInput;

//moves cc according to reorientated input vector multiplied by speed and is framerate indepentant.
cc.Move(move * PlayerSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
transform.Rotate(new Vector3(transform.rotation.x, mousex * TurningSpeed, transform.rotation.z));

close. id try this. i moved the two Time.deltaTime multiplications from the input definition to one in the cc.Move function.

languid bay
#

ok let me see

#

ok srry i took so long @lofty tangle but it does work

#

it works kind of though

#

forward stays forward no matter rotation given by right stick but it does move dependant on the players looking position

lofty tangle
languid bay
#

so like lets say im facing north

#

if i hold forward on the left stick

#

i go north

#

but if i rotate so that im facing east, if i hold forward, i still go north

lofty tangle
#

k one sec

lofty tangle
languid bay
# 
        Quaternion cameraYaw = Quaternion.Euler(0, Camera.main.transform.localEulerAngles.y, 0);

        float movex = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float movez = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector3 moveInput = new Vector3(movex, 0, movez);

        Vector3 move = cameraYaw * moveInput;
        cc.Move(move * PlayerSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

        float mousex = Input.GetAxis("Joy X") * Time.deltaTime;
        cc.transform.Rotate(new Vector3(transform.rotation.x, mousex * TurningSpeed, transform.rotation.z));
lofty tangle
#

well start by removing cc. on cc.transfrom.Rotate(...) at the bottom. that not the problem but its unnecessary.
i got it working with translate but give me a sec to see what is needed for the cc

languid bay
#

okiedokie

#

again thanks for helping me

#

really appreciate it

lofty tangle
#

okay lad. i think we've got it!
cc.Move(transform.rotation * move * 5 * Time.deltaTime);
we need to multiply the transform.rotation by the move vector.
similarly to what we did to make the input relative to the direction the camera is looking.
we need to move the cc according to the direction it is facing.
it may seem redundant to do relativity to both the input and the move vector but it becomes necessary if the camera isnt facing the same direction as the cc transform.

languid bay
#

ok let me try this

#

HAZAAA

#

it works!

#

though i'd like it if it didn't move the character based on where the player is looking (not the feel im going for)

lofty tangle
#

then, depending on if you mean the player object or the camera, just remove the quaternion that you are multiplying the respective vector3 by.

languid bay
#

okie dokie, thanks a bunch for helping me out, i REALLY appreciate it, i can stop tearing out my hair.. im gonna work on this more tomorrow thoguh since its late here and im tired

lofty tangle

idk though, idk what type of game it is we are talking about

That is if you are using the unity xr toolkit.

Hey guys ! I'm working on a simple rail system in VR. I simply attached the OVRPlayerController to a gameobject named "Parent", and I change its position in a simple animation. Here is what I get in the editor

#

But when I try it in vr, I get this

#

I have the same problem if I try to move "Parent" with Cinemachine (using a dolly track)

#

The problem does not come from the animation, because if I attach a simple object to the Parent, the animation will apply correctly to it, but I'll still get the same result for the OVRPlayerController

#

Does anyone have an idea on what's actually going on ?

is there a trick to scaling in vr?

#

im not working on anything rn but in the past i noticed everythings scale was off and it depended on the scene

#

sometimes i had to scale down my vr controller

sometimes it was too small

#

it was a lot of trial and error until it felt right but it felt like taping together wood, not really a good solution

Not sure if this is the right channel to ask for help, but here it goes: I have a world space canvas which I would like to behave similar as a screen space overlay. With my headset on, I don't see the screen space overlay, that's why it needs to be world space. The canvas would be like a headsup display and constantly visible to the headset user.

#

Put differently, I would like to have a world space canvas to have a fixed position with respect to the headset user. So it will always be displayed and visible.

Hey VR Friends! Quick question: FFR with unity standard renderer on Quest. Has anyone made that work reliably ??? I know I saw it working on a test project a long time ago, but now I just can’t make it work, even on a clean project with just oculus integration and ovrcamerarig. Is there any “undocumented” stuff to know about ?

#

@tough jewel attach it to your camera. If depth is your problem, then have a second camera that renders only your UI layer and starts by clearing depth

#

Another option that might work would be to use a custom UI material that renders last and has z test always

tough jewel
#

Tysm @tiny kiln I'm a noob with Unity, sorry in advance 😋 . I am creating a see through effect, for which I have a camera projecting its view on a rawimage. Is it maybe easier to have this rawimage relative to the headset user?

tiny kiln
#

Yeah the simplest way in this case is to just parent the world space UI root to the camera and position it and scale it so it covers the eye view

@versed sorrel There's no random ads on the server.

If you want the canvas stuck to the users head you can also use the screen space camera mode @tough jewel

Do you have the VR camera applied as the camera of the canvas? And the distance set to something higher than the near clip of the camera?

#

Using the Action XR Rig, is there a way of picking up an object?

tiny niche
#

@quaint sentinel no, you also need to be using the interaction toolkit to get grabbing features

#

picking up is also a poor term here, since in vr it can mean anything between grabbing stuff, inventory management and using your hands to teleport stuff into an inventory

@quaint sentinel that's an offset issue. you're grabbing the object that has the collider, not the object with the rigid body

Can anyone help me with teleporting the player position? as in unity, I cant change the transform.position of an XR Rig gameobject by code as it I checked its position right after i set it position to the destination, it is correct, but its updated position vector3 show that the transform.position of the rig doesnt teleport to the destination at the end of the frame. Can anyone show me how to teleport a xr Rig by code?(set its transform.position), using the continous movement provider

#

As I include a simple test function that set the rig position back to vec3.zero every sec, i see that when i am continously moving around, sometime i would go back to zero as expected but just for a split moment and snap back to where i was still walking, maybe a problem is in this script?

you're either not calling the code that's supposed to change the position, or you're changing the position of the wrong thing, or you're changing the position successfully and then changing it back to the original value somewhere else

hey, does anyone have any idea how to make an artificial jump with the XR interaction toolkit? (i.e. press a face button & the character launches up slightly without losing current momentum)

I tried using a rigidbody, but it just started colliding with literally everything and launched you off the map at extremely high speeds before the player had even moved once.

any suggestions would be really helpful, thanks.

tiny niche
#

@rugged cipher you could use a rigid body, but you have to position it on the xr root

rugged cipher
#

I had tried a rigid body but it started freaking out and threw me out of the map.

#

It was an added component to the "XR rig" itself on the map.

tiny niche
#

and did you filter the collisions?

rugged cipher
#

define "filter the collisions" - I'm a little bad with physics bodies/rigid bodies, not massively experienced with them

tiny niche
#

go to project settings, there's a bunch of checkboxes there defining which layers should collide with each other

rugged cipher
#

okay, give me a second, I'm opening my project up now.

tiny niche
#

you don't want the rigid body to collide with anything xr related

rugged cipher
#

right. I'll give that a shot. Thank you very much.

#

@tiny niche where under project settings would I find these checkboxes? I found under physics a section called "layer collision matrix" but that didn't mention anything about XR.

tiny niche
#

well that's normal, since you probably havent made an xr layer and assigned stuff to it

rugged cipher
#

possible. I did also just notice however I misclicked and opened the wrong project, so I'll check again.

#

if I haven't, how would I go about making an XR layer?

tiny niche
#

this is where you should refer to the unity manual

rugged cipher
#

right, okay. I'll give that a shot then.

#

think I figured it out, I'll package that to my quest and see what it does

#

okay I made a discovery. After applying the XR layer, the rigidbody on its own behaves fine, but once I add the code for jumping, it cannot function, starts pushing the player downwards and eventually through the floor.

#

(however, it at least is no longer colliding with random things out of thin air, so thanks for that @tiny niche that was really helpful)

#

clearly it's an issue somewhere here in the code then.

unknown.png
#

I'm gonna try following the tutorial I was originally following again, while applying the XR collision layer information, and see if it changes anything.

lofty tangle
#

i prefer using the characterController component to handle my movement. but yes if your hands or objects you are holding have colliders on them you will want your body collider to ignore those layers.

I've been using the OVR character controller and I've got a very strange issue cropping up in my project. I have a simple teleport arc, which highlights a spot on the ground, then teleports the player to the spot they are pointing at.

When the target to be teleported is the OVR player controller, the player teleports 180 degrees away from where they are pointing. When the target is the OVR camera rig, this issue doesn't occur (but other issues pop up with player collision so this method is not viable)

Any suggestions for how to correct this? I'm totally lost as to the source of the issue

#

I'd like to be able to teleport the OVR player controller, but directly changing it's .position value results in this issue

#

disabling the player controller also resolves this issue, but this is similarly undesirable. Any idea why having a player controller would result in the player being pushed backwards like this?

#

For future reference, my solution was just to disable the player controller, teleport, then renable the player controller right after. This "pushes" the player up back to their height instantly, so it's not noticeable. Feels hacky but it seems to work

Hi everybody!
I have a weird problem that I cant find any information on. I think it started to happen after I switched from the Oculus SDK to openXR

When I launch my game, via unity or steam. it wont start in the headset unless I click on the game window...
I have no idea why this is happening.. does anyone recognize the problem?

#

I just tried to launch it from steam and it actually looks like the game stops right after the splashcreen. The game waits for me to click on the game window before continuing

Hi all. Finally making the switch to XR Management and looking at optimizing our pipeline. We work with both PCVR and standalone, and if I can, I would love to only have to manage a single .exe file and a single .apk file. Is this doable at the moment? We will be looking at OpenXR down the road but we still use the old input system and also have to work with currently unsupported platforms.

I found this video by SkarredGhost and he builds separate .apk files for wave and oculus. This is what I'd like to avoid, if possible.

@hoary skiff get valve's steamvr integration from asset store, it has openvr support

no idea if that will help on your issue though, sounds more like you are trying to do something Unity's XR system isn't designed for

if you want to use the older Unity VR setup, you probably want to use 2018 LTS. It's still present on 2019 LTS but it's hidden and apparently somewhat bugged there

# arctic dew Hi all, is anybody here familiar with the Oculus SDK? I'm trying to implement ga...

I’d suggest not using oculus sdk, cause Facebook depreciated it, see link below.

https://developer.oculus.com/blog/oculus-all-in-on-openxr-deprecates-proprietary-apis/

Oculus All In on OpenXR: Deprecates Proprietary APIs

Starting with v31, new features will be delivered via OpenXR extensions, instead of new Oculus Mobile and PC APIs. OpenXR will enter Full Support and will be the preferred API for all new applications going forward, including those that plan to use Passthrough Experimental API functionality.

#

But.. you can get a general gaze by just making a raycast shoot forward from camera. And to make it do something if your gaze is held after a length of time just do something like: while raycast hits, increase a timer float. if it reaches a number then have it do the thing you want, if you look away reset the timer.

We continue to closely collaborate with Unity on their OpenXR plugin (fully verified on Unity 2020 LTS and beyond), which is currently experimental for Oculus devices. The Unity OpenXR plugin will be fully supported in early 2022 (Unity 2021 LTS) and will become the recommended path for Unity developers. We will continue to provide compatibility support for the Oculus XR Plugin until early 2023, when Unity 2022 LTS is expected to be released. ```
#

their own integration may have some additional goodies but it seems like their plan is still to use Unity's OpenXR plugin from now on

Hi all! My team and I are working on a VR aircraft cockpit. I want to create a script that I can use on multiple buttons where an animation is played onHoverEntered and then returns to its original pose onHoverExited. Could anyone please give me some pointers on how to do this. Thanks. Im using the XR Interaction toolkit if that helps.

OnHover(){
Animator.setbool(“hovered”, true); }

OnStopHover() {
Animator.setbool(“hovered”, false); }

Use whatever override function is used on hovers for xr toolkit

#

Also assuming that the animator uses a bool called hovering to blend between states

lofty tangle
#

Not sure what way would work best, I don’t use the xr toolkit. But the first might require making a custom version of the xr interactor script and the 2nd might need an xr interactable on each button

I'm using a skybox asset but it behaves weird. In play mode on my quest 2 through oculus link my right lens sort of repeats things it has rendered? Like that old windows bug when the computer was crashing and you moved around boxes and you could see a shadow trail of the boxes.

Sounds logical

#

I was looking for that because I vaguely remember it being an issue before. So this is probably the answer. Thanks!

fiery night
#

That was it, thanks.

#

I am also curious why moving objects same jittery. It's just a rigidbody with force applied. I feel like it has something to do with how often the position gets updated

#

It's like it fades between two positions. Vibrates? But not in movement, there's just this transparent extension of the object

pine bison
#

If you're moving it with physics then it could be because of the physics timestep @fiery night. You can try and change that in the physics settings and see if it makes a difference

fiery night
#

You mean the normal timestep? Under project settings > time

#

I can't find a "physics timestep" anywhere

fiery night
pine bison
#

euuuh let me check

#

Fixed timestep is when the physics run @fiery night

fiery night

Ah okay, so you did mean that right?

pine bison
#

Yes

fiery night
#

Okay cool. I'll play with it and profile to see what happens

As for the value, lower means more CPU calculations, s you should find a middle ground

Oh, yeah but I'm not working on that particular project right now.

#

I've put it in a ticket for tomorrow

#

Right now I'm trying to get a good starter project set up. The timestep is one of the things I can do there. I googled a bit and saw it recommended multiple times (75/1).

#

Now I'm trying to figure out why stuff looks so ugly. Jagged edges and odd rendering. Like it has a lower resolution or something.

pine bison
#

Sounds like antialiasing

fiery night
#

I remember someone here pointing me towards a.. texture scale? I think?

pine bison
#

Check if you have MSAA enabled in the quality settings

#

Texture scale is also a parameter in the same menu

fiery night
#

Lemme check... Because I don't know what that means

#

Medium and low have it disabled. High has 2x

pine bison
#

Are you building for quest?

fiery night
#

Quest 2, yeah.

pine bison
#

set it to 4x

#

It is so strange that is not enabled in a VR template project

fiery night
#

I didn't use the vr template because that uses the built in renderer

#

So I'm creating my own on top of urp. Is that wrong?

pine bison
#

Aha I see

#

Nono

#

I just misunderstood your earlier comment

fiery night
#

Ah, sorry if I explain poorly.

#

So... 2 follow up questions.

  1. Why 4x?
  2. How do I know which settings are used for quest2?
#

Hm, and maybe 3. got anymore of them tips? 😄

pine bison
#

4x is standard for mobile VR. Most standalone have hardware boosted chips for 4x MSAA

#

In the quality settings you choose the quality of your build target platform with the arrow at the bottom of the list, and then it should turn green

fiery night
#

Ah, found it. Thanks!

pine bison
#

And I don't have a list of tips and tricks ready unfortunately 😄

fiery night
#

I'll just uncheck everything except medium

#

That way I know it's always medium. Even when I use my link cable

pine bison
#

Actually in editor it's whichever quality level you have selected that's applied

fiery night
#

Downside of testing with link cable is that I have an rtx3080 and a ryzen 9 5900x. Is there a way to throttle play mode (other than making an actual build)?

fiery night
pine bison
#

No, you'll have to build to check performance. Oculus integration asset has some tools to speed up that process

#

And you're right, you can toggle between quality settings on a device if you've included them

fiery night
#

These quality settings are cool

#

I don't really see a difference between 2x and 4x

#

I mean... It's clear something is happening to take off the "edge". But it seems to just do it differently. I'm going to read into this msaa stuff

#

Render scale from 1 to even 1.2 is a huge difference as well

pine bison
#

Yes, everything has its cost of course

fiery night
#

I'm aiming for something with very few objects with high quality. I'm just curious what I can actually achieve in unity. I already created it in unreal (5).

pine bison
#

Cool, well you can get pretty decent results visually in unity but it takes a lot more effort than in UE

Anyone got any tips on privacy policy for Oculus Quest app lab publication?

tiny niche
#

don't store anything

#

that way you can just take some boilerplate legalese and not worry about it

placid nacelle
#

I used a generic online free privacy policy generator before, but recently when I updated the app having changed nothing in those regards, Oculus came back and rejected the privacy policy, even though I don't collect any information from the user.

#

I don't collect anything at all, the app doesn't even have to be online nor does it have anywhere to send any information.

i have updated my project form 2021.2.0a17 to 2022.1.0a10 and open-xr stopped tracking my controllers , turning off open-xr and switching to oculus option in the plug-in management still works tho without changing any input binds or scripts , any ideas what's up ?

is there some new features in open-xr that i need to update for the controllers to receive tracking ?

Using the UnityEngine XR Interaction Toolkit, if multiple sockets with listeners are created from an array and they call the same method all in the same script, can information be passed to the method indicating which socket in the array called the method?

Does anyone have any experience using "real" weapons or Airsoft weapons in VR/MR as a tracked controller?

#

Ok, I'm a bit more interested in whether or not the game projectile would follow the same trajectory as a real world bullet? (Ignoring bullet drop and air resistance)

solar needle
placid nacelle
#

I made this app that works in conjunction with real / airsoft handguard and stock

#

As for ballistic, if you want something to follow a real world bullet or closely like it, then my approach (and I think this is probably a common approach), is to create a bullet game object, use raycast to calculate where it needs to be the next frame, then move the object there to cast again, so it's still raycast, but with some simplified ballistic calculation instead of using Unity's physics system which may fall apart even if your bullet goes as fast as a paintball

split violet
#

Thank you for your replies 🙌
@solar needle I just meant as a starting point before I start incorporating in logic to more closely simulate what a bullet would do
@placid nacelle Nice Demo! (and moves)
Interesting approach and makes quite a bit of sense, thank you! I will look more into this 🙌

worthy zephyr
#

Works with optitrack system that send out infrared signals

but

We also made it work without the optitrack system. 3d printed a controller holder and mounted it on top

hey guys, does anyone know a quick way to smooth controller movement/rotation?

tardy flower
#

Hello! Anyone know how to get haptics to work on quest using the Oculus XR Plugin ?

gray radish
#

How do people typically adjust the player hitbox so it tracks with roomscale? I'm using the OVR plugin but I'd imagine it would be similar across headsets

#

Right now when my player teleports or uses joystick locomotion the hitbox moves as intended, but if they walk 3 feet to the left in roomscale or something, the hitbox doesn't travel with them

frozen roost
#

Hi, anyone have experience with custom teleportation in the UnityEngine.XR? I want to be able to stand on walls and ceilings (match the normal of the hit point). Unfortunately, the following doesn't seem to do anything:

public class ArbitraryTeleporationArea : TeleportationArea
{
    protected override bool GenerateTeleportRequest(XRBaseInteractor interactor, RaycastHit raycastHit, ref TeleportRequest teleportRequest)
    {
        bool result = base.GenerateTeleportRequest(interactor, raycastHit, ref teleportRequest);

        teleportRequest.destinationRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(raycastHit.normal);

        return result;
    }
}
frozen roost
#

Nvm, it works but I was using Quaternion.LookRotation wrong. There's some math to be done to get up/forward/normal vectors

pine bison
#

Oh that sounds like an interesting mechanic :)

tiny niche
#

@gray radish i've seen some examples where people use a character controller on the xr rig root and re-center it below the headset every update

#

it approximates the feeling of being able to walk around and collide with stuff pretty well

Hey, do these not work when interacting with UI or am I doing something wrong, because I'm not hearing the audio

@lofty tangle it's basically a square playspace; the VR rig and gravity directions are rotating when it goes over an edge

Hey so im trying to mimic echo vr movement within unity, but my head wont collide with stuff when i grab and move around.

"XR Rig" has the rigidbody with no gravity and not kinematic

Would it even be possible to use 2 video cameras as the input for a VR? I know this is more AR but as I’d be using a VR headset i thought id also post here, so what I’m trying to do is this: I want to know if I can use usb webcams to display a stitched together video for each eye rather then 1 camera for both eyes

#

I’ve only heard of that being used for AR and even then it’s a phone. Wondering if it’s possible

glass herald
#

Hey how could i parent an xr rig to a moving object

#

the xr rig and object both have zero gravity rigidbodies

lofty tangle
glass herald
#

that seems to not work, and my head just stays still

tiny niche
#

@glass herald parent the rig root, not the headset

storm ether
#

When I play the game all the models are glitching

fiery night
#

I wanted something similar to that, and pull up the feet when climbing so you're not blocked when reaching the top. Then "expand" when a raycast down from the head finds a surface so you can "stand up". How did you implement this, if you don't mind me asking?

quartz slate
#

the feet (and the hands) are each their own rigidbody with a configurable joint

#

the head is rotationally constrained, which is why it doesnt fall over

#

but everything else is mostly pure physics

fiery night
#

I didn't even know configurable joints were a thing. Something to learn, thanks 🙂

quartz slate
#

welcome!

fiery night
#

It looks really cool.

quartz slate
#

thanks!

#

here's one with a concept body

fiery night
#

Look at it go

#

Is it always changing gravity towards a central position?

quartz slate
#

yep

fiery night
#

Nice, I like that

quartz slate
#

this one can switch into a 360 flight mode

fiery night
#

Does it not screw with your head in vr?

quartz slate
#

surprisingly not

#

having everything be legitimate physics makes it fairly predictable

fiery night
#

warplanes messed with mine quite a bit, that's why I was curious

#

It's the whole rotating in VR but not in real life that my brain doesn't quite like yet

quartz slate
#

my intended game play is sitting down, so i wonder if that will help

#

plus the third person really helps you have a sense of what your body is doing

#

gives you bigger FOV

fiery night
#

Idk, I think it's just my brain being stupid. I can play it (warplanes), I just feel awful when I'm done

#

Any other type of movement is fine. It's just rotating x and z

#

So the joint responds to the position of your head?

#

As in, to jump you just crouch and get up?

quartz slate
#

actually the jumping is on the right joystick Y axis

#

seated play is what its designed for

#

although its trivial to set it up like that

fiery night
#

Aaah 😄

quartz slate
#

I'm more concerned with making VR fun than i am forcing players to do arbitrary crap like crouching

fiery night
#

Yeah

quartz slate
#

not that it's a bad thing; players just dont know what they want yet

#

if VR is gonna be more than an exercise gimmick, seated play is required for the long term gaming sessions

#

else players will be exhausted

fiery night
#

I agree. Especially those table top games

#

Population one for example I love to play standing

quartz slate
#

being seated also removes your need to constantly stay balanced, which might really help with 360 stuff

fiery night
#

Also has a different type of climbing that I really dig. It's not really physics based but it feels good

quartz slate
#

more like feeling seated in a cockpit

#

for a lot of games i think standing up is fine

fiery night
#

I think it's the inner ear getting confused. As in, why am I not feeling myself rotate.

quartz slate
#

expecially where it's not ultra fast paced

#

one of the things i have come to discover is that it's not necessary how the player is rotated, etc..., but rather how much control they have over it, that matters

fiery night
#

You mentioned the hands being joints. Is that what allows you to climb the way you do in that video? Because they pull the rest of the body up?

quartz slate
#

planes that are too sensittive in rotating, too jittery, etc, would feel harder to control and be inherently more stressful

fiery night
#

I haven't done a ton with joints yet so if it's a dumb question, forgive me :p

quartz slate
#

yep! the rigidbodies aren't kinematic at all

#

so it's rigidbodies connected by joints pulling and pushing eachother

fiery night
quartz slate
fiery night
quartz slate
#

iirc this should be instructive

#

configurable joints are a rather compplicated component (like a precision tool with all the features)

fiery night
#

In your video it interacts with geometry. But could you fix it at a point in space(for example when pressing the grip button) so it can't slip or move?

quartz slate
#

they're hard to use at first, but when you get them right they're perfect

quartz slate
fiery night
quartz slate
#

ah turns out i did try warplanes

#

IMO it's just poorly made

fiery night
#

It lags slightly

quartz slate
#

physics in VR takes some time to learn the basics and to hammer out an approach

#

configurable joints are a cruel but powerful mistress

fiery night
#

So how would you fix a hand at a certain position?

quartz slate
#

make it kinematic, or use another joint that locks it to a kinematic RB

#

the way joints work implies the solution; set that up first

fiery night
#

But then when I move the controller nothing would happen right?

#

Ah okay, sorry

#

I'll go on my joint adventure 😄

quartz slate
#

good luck lol

fiery night
#

They're all the joints wrapped in one and I'm having a ton of fun making stupid stuff. So in your video, what's the joint hierarchy? The body is hanging off of the head? Or the head is balancing on top of the body?

quartz slate
#

in this case, the feet are hanging off the head, and the arms (hands) are also hanging off the head

#

the head uses rotational constraints (a rigidbody setting) to make it not fall over

#

in order to make the hands work with it's hierarchy as such (with the configurableJoint components on the hand RB's), the swap-bodies option is being used

#

swap bodies is a bit broken and unintuitive, but it essentially reverses the order of spring resolution order (rotation before linear, and vice versa), while also inverting the outputs

#

it's meant to make it seem like the joint is on the other body but you need to corect anchor positions to make it work

#

if you're having fun with them at the outset, then you probably understand the basics of joint drives, and you're off to a great start!

#

remember to turn off preprocessing too, cause it's awful

fiery night
#

Good info, I'll play around with that

#

I can't quite get my hands to move my body yet but I'm sure it's something I'll discover as I keep playing around

fiery night
#

I started a new VR project like I always do. Only this time my hands aren't being tracked. Before I go crazy trying to figure out what I broke and/or installing other versions of unity I should mention I'm on the beta (2021.2). Any known issues surrounding this?

Has anyone had any experience writing a game that supports both VR and Keyboard/Mouse on a regular screen? Would I need to create a player controller that swaps between a third person cinemachine rig and an xr rig, or would it be better to have two distinct prefabs/controllers and have scene initialization choose the appropriate one for the player’s config?

azure geyser

@timid hawk this is how i did it

i see optimisation opportunity tho

vr = XRSettings.enabled;
if(vr) {
cam = Instantiate(VRCamera, transform);
} else {
cam = Instantiate(PCCamera, transform);
}```
#

the vr variable is there just cuz you will probably want to reference it later in the script depending on what ur doing

#

its just for shorter lines

timid hawk
#

Yeah for sure, this is the approach I was picturing when I started on this. Appreciate all the help!

azure geyser
#

np

#

you could actually do it in one line

#

or two

# 
vr = XRSettings.enabled;
cam = vr ? Instantiate(VRCamera, transform) : Instantiate(PCCamera, transform);
#

just make sure vr and pc cameras are prefabs of their rigs

timid hawk
#

Got it, seems like it should be pretty easy to work into my design. I’m gonna give it a try later, excited to give it a go 😃

I'm looking to understand VR development for Oculus Quest in Unity. I see that there are three integration's available:

  1. Oculus Quest Integration SDK

  2. VRTK

  3. XR Interaction Toolkit

Which ones do you use (and prefer)? Why?

For hand tracking, I've seen more tutorials using Oculus Quest Integration SDK & VRTK. Which integration do you use for hand-tracking? Why?

pine bison
#

What's your use case @sinful sable? That would determine what's best to use

#

For example if you need hand tracking, you need the oculus integration either way

#

I'm setting up a personal project for just playing around and I'm gonna use all three of those

wraith shale
#

I still wonder why Oculus doesn't allow quest handtracking on PC side

#

tech clearly works through Link and AirLink as you can use it on Unity editor, they just remove it from actual builds

#

it's super niche thing and they just limit the applications further

sinful sable
sinful sable
wraith shale
#

openxr still has stupid things

#

it's not fully device agnostic api, you still need to have your system running it through steamvr or oculus api (but of course openxr is the interfacing layer to unity still in that case)

#

and to force your openxr game to use specific backend today... is pain

#

they don't have any nice -oculusvr etc toggle for it, instead you go through registry + file hackery

#

(if you need to have that kind of functionality that is)

pine bison
#

Anything more complex than picking up objects quickly gets frustrating with hand tracking. Cubism is the best example I’ve got of it working nicely

wraith shale
#

openxr is the future for sure, just not loving every aspect of it yet

pine bison
#

Looking forward to they day were there 😄

sinful sable
sinful sable
wraith shale
#

@sinful sable worth noting that that oculus integration isn't preventing you from using other toolkits, your main gain from the oculus integration or package is that you get access to oculus API that lets you do device specific things, in past you kinda needed it to be able to set the quest 2 refresh rate higher etc (altho you might be able to set it via manifest too, that I haven't tried)

sinful sable
#

This is good to know!

wraith shale
#

I also struggled a lot with getting hand controllers vibrations working on recent unity versions unless I used xr interaction toolkit, that stuff was broken through regular OculusXR api

#

it's really mixed bag, so you just have to try all things and see what works for you + what feats you need

sinful sable
#

XR Interaction toolkit is currently my fav. But yeah. I need basic interactions - grabbing cubes/objects through hand and raycasting.

wraith shale
#

XR toolkit had this really hacky workaround for input system that made the controller vibrations functional, just can't remember if it was broken on quest or pcvr side when using other APIs

#

main issue with xr interaction toolkit is that it's largely unproven and still at quite early stages

sinful sable
#

True.

wraith shale
#

anything like that from Unity is super risky, they may cancel it any day

sinful sable
#

What about VRTK?

pine bison
#

VRTK works with XR interaction toolkit

#

As well as the dedicated SDKs

sinful sable
# pine bison VRTK works with XR interaction toolkit

That's good to know. But now I'm confused as to what's the aim of 3 systems that function with each other? Are there specific features that the three toolkits have that make it worth putting in a single project?

pine bison
#

I’m looking at XRI for an easy rig setup across devices, and VRTK to avoid having to build basic interactions like doors and shelves. As well as climbing, smooth locomotion etc

wraith shale
#

VRTK and XR interaction toolkits functionality overlaps so it's probably easier to just stick one of them, as for the platform specific integrations, if you can do with the stock OpenXR functionality, you could just go with it alone

pine bison
#

If I use the Oculus SDK it’s gonna be to play around with the specific stuff in there

sinful sable
wraith shale
#

or if you target only Quest, you are fine by using OculusXR package today

sinful sable
wraith shale
#

they are moving to OpenXR at oculus now but it's still in transitioning

sinful sable
wraith shale
#

nah

pine bison
wraith shale
#

basically only thing you absolutely need is some UnityXR package, be it OpenXR or OculusXR to be able to build vr for quest today, rest is extra.. but these toolkits are there to prevent you from having to build everything from ground up yourself

#

there's a ton of common functionality on VR games that just doesn't have to be reinvented by you

Hello, I have spend some weeks looking for a answer by myself in the Unity and Microsoft documentation, but so far I am stuck, so there is my problem: I work for a company who is building a VR arcade machine, and after testing almost every headset existing on the market for the past 4 years, we are now using the HP G2.

But this Headset have a problem that sometime it will lost is tracking, no in game but before, the only way we have found to fix the problem is to manually go in the Mixed Reality Portal and force the app to recreate the boundary.

Mixed Reality Portal > Set up room boundary > Set me up for seated and standing

And than the headset will work fine for all day long, but the problem will comeback when we restart the machine, is not always the case, so I suspect that it depend a lot of what the headset can see at start.

So, my question is, is there a way to force the recreation of boundary from Unity to MRP ? with any of the API for VR.

@gray radish If the position of your hands are defined by the controllers and you want them to stay within the volume, then turn off the tracking, while the tracking data is outside the desired volume. Otherwise, the tracking data will overrule the collisions with occasional physics hiccups.

Hi! Need help: I have to build for Oculus Quest 2. In Unity 2019.4 I used to attach Ctaa V2 to my camera and everything worked fine with single pass rendering, but now I need to update to Unity 2020.3, and that asset seems to work only with multi pass rendering. Any idea on how to reduce the anti aliasing artifacts in VR with this Unity version and single pass instanced rendering? The single pass render is not available anymore. I use the built in render pipeline, the unity anti aliasing 8x multi sampling quality is not enough. Thanks to everyone

tiny niche
#

@gray radish the real question isn't how you make them collide. It's all about how you make them track the controller

#

the right solution for that depends on how your hands are represented and/or what you're holding

tight geode
lofty tangle
# gray radish Any suggestions for how to make the VR controllers collide with solid objects? M...

The tracked vr controller objects in your scene are positioned equal to your irl controllers.
So you can’t divert them, well maybe you can but you shouldn’t.
What you should do instead is create another object that will represent your in-game hands and use physics to move them to where your tracked controllers are. That way if your irl controllers move though where a wall would be, the in-game hand object try’s to move to that position but is stopped by the collision.

Your issue is then that you were using a shader that does not support single passed instanced rendering. It's more optimized but requires some shader tweaks

  • the second one is the one i cant figure out
lofty tangle
#

Yes I have.

#

But it works oddly. I set the movement and gravity myself using velocity. And have the gravity direction relict to the players down direction.
Then I just rotation the player and it all works. But I’d probably do it a bit differently

I just converted my characterController move method to rigidbody as the characterController can’t rotate upside down and sideways.

#

transform.rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(transform.up, -gravityDirection) * transform.rotation;

Something like that to flip me.

Yop, it's been two months and unity still hasn't worked on it. Please, if you could upvote this, so unity fix shadergraph for VR that would be awesome https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/xr-sdk-shadergraph-screenposition-node-does-not-work-when-xr-is-active
So we can make mirrors, portals and cool stuff 😄

Reproduction steps: 1. Open the attached project ("1358229R.zip") 2. Open the "PortalVR" scene 3. Open the XR Plug-in Management set...

Hi, when writing fragment shaders for use in URP - specifically on the Oculus Quest - is there something I should be including in my code to make them fully work?
I've written a simple shader that divides up a quad's UVs and draws a randomly sized rectangle in each square - I'm also making the rectangles grow and shrink over time, using a sin function..
However on building my apk file, I'm finding the random part or the growing parts of my code are not working at all - and I just get yellow squares of the same size, instead of like the ones shown in the image.
So far, I've tried building it using GLES3 and Vulkan -both give me this result. Using the Built In Renderer seems to be fine though - I was hoping to use URP in my next project!

@fresh crane writing shader or shadergraph?

# pine bison <@258246563237855234> writing shader or shadergraph?

I'm writing the shader - I've posted in that section too 🙂
I'm currently trying to make the same shader in shadergraph - and I'm kinda thinking it might be because my shader is written in GLSL and not HLSL - although in that case I don't understand why it would work fine when compiled for windows, or work in the editor! Another lead someone gave me was that I haven't accounted for stereo rendering... so quite a lot to test and ponder over 😅

Sounds good 👍🏼 unfortunately writing shaders manually in the new render pipelines is a Huge mess and there are basically no resources

fresh crane
#

Yeah, that's starting to dawn on me ! 🙂
Really wanted to get stuck into a URP project, but I'm also wanting to do lots of crazy shader things, which seems to be easier to sort out in Built-In-Renderer..

If anybody is free and has time to help me figure out a rigidbody XR rig, dm me.

lofty tangle
glass herald
# lofty tangle What of it?

well I haven't even started because I don't know the hierarchy structure should go, regarding rigidbodies & colliders.

#

also i sent you a friend request i think

lofty tangle
#

Oh i never check dms. Do you have the xr rig in your hierarchy at least?

glass herald
#

thats also why im confused, this is all i see.

unknown.png
#

those are my xr settings

lofty tangle
#

Did you install the xr toolkit package? It’s a preview package.

glass herald
#

i actually havent, should i start from that?

lofty tangle
#

Yes.

glass herald
#

alright

#

lemme do a fresh setup

#

one sec

glass herald
lofty tangle
#

Just add the rigidbody and the collider on to the root of the xr rig. You named it player

glass herald
#

like on the hands, head, and maybe a body collider

#

also would i need to set rotation constraints. cuz i think thats what made me unable to do the sticking to a ship thing with my past controller

lofty tangle
#

You can try. but the collider on player should be the environmental collider for when you move around the environment. The thing that stops you from moving through walls

#

Also if you have colliders on the hands as well you should put them on a separate physics layer and disable the interaction between your hands and player collider else if the hands touch them you can go flying, unwantedly.

glass herald
lofty tangle
#

Yes but we’ll get to that

glass herald
#

Alright here what ive got. "Player" has rigidbody and capsule collider. "Hand" is just a cube with its default box collider.

unknown.png
#

o and theres a sphere collider on the camera

lofty tangle
#

You will want to position the collider according to the mainCamera object (which is tracked to you headset)
You’ll want a new vector3 with the x and z as the mainCameras x and z and the y would be the mainCameras local y.

lofty tangle
glass herald
#

because i plan to have a zero g mode where your bottom half doesnt collide

#

like echo vr

#

if theres a better way im all ears

lofty tangle
#

Okay. Well yeah the set up does depend on the game.

lofty tangle
glass herald
#

o and you mean collision matrix when you said dont let the hand collide with body right

#

hands*

lofty tangle
#

Probably

glass herald
#

ok lemme do that real quick

#

alright done

#

how should i handle the scaling of the body collider

#

i know to modify the height of the collider but based off what value

lofty tangle
#

Depends. If in the game, you are standing on the ground the scale would be from the camera/headset to the base of the rig

glass herald
#

o so i could just do the localPosition.y of the camera

#

im pretty sure

lofty tangle
#

Yes

glass herald
#

just not sure how to make the height from that value

lofty tangle
#

Collider.height = camera.localPosition.y

glass herald
#

its that easy?

lofty tangle
#

Yes

glass herald
#

o wait yea that kinda make sense

#

should i make a script just for this camera and height adjusting stuff?

lofty tangle
#

That’s will be the tippy top of the collider, and the center on the camera so if you want the collider to be more where the head is then you can add a bit more

lofty tangle

Are you using new or old unity input system

glass herald
#

new with xr toolkit you mentioned

lofty tangle

Idk. I haven’t bothered to learn the new input system. But valem on YouTube has a tutorial on how to set it up. Or maybe it was Andrew vr

I've got this issue that only happens in play mode on a VR headset. What looks like the aliasing goes completely bonkers on specific scene objects, not all of them

#

The video shows the problem. Its quite jarring to look at

#

I've tried setting the anti-aliasing to both max, and then off

#

it doesnt change anything

#

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

#

If I start up playmode without a VR headset, the issue does not occur

hidden falcon
#

hey guys really simple question
every time I pick up an object and put the joystick forward it moves away from the player - this seems intentional, as you can also bring it back, but I would like to remove this because you can't move and grab an object at the same time, its really annoying.

lofty tangle
hidden falcon
#

i want to be able to move it though

#

ill show you whats happening, one sec

glass herald
#

Hey @lofty tangle ive managed to get a moveX & moveY variable hooked up to my left joystick. What method did you use for movement after getting these values?

hidden falcon
lofty tangle
# hidden falcon

Yeah I know, that’s what you said. You don’t want it to do that right?

hidden falcon
#

yeah, but i still want to like, be able to move it

#

just not get it further away

glass herald
#

as he moves it gets further is what hes saying

#

i think

hidden falcon
#

yup

#

but its not necessarily move

#

aiming the game pad forward does that

lofty tangle
hidden falcon
#

does it matter if i use action based?

lofty tangle
#

That would be here

#

Anchor actions I think

glass herald
#

For some reason this code wont move the player at all.

unknown.png
#

even thought the rigidbody info shows it picking up velocity

hidden falcon
#

Didnt work. This is how its set up for me

Screenshot_2021-10-16_223531.png
lofty tangle
#

Well idk I don’t use action based. Device based works perfect for me without having to learn a new input system 🤷‍♂️

hidden falcon
#

time for my signature move:

#

change something, if it breaks, fix it lazily.

lofty tangle
hidden falcon
#

do you have to use teleport on device based?

lofty tangle
#

I don’t do teleporting either.

hidden falcon
#

wait so just stationary or gamepad movement

lofty tangle
#

Gamepad movement like most modern games.

hidden falcon
#

yeah so how do you do that

#

oh right

lofty tangle
#

There are too many tutorials on how to do that, I’d rather not explain the whole process

hidden falcon
#

continuous movement script

lofty tangle
#

Sure but no I use my own scripts. I don’t rely on the xr toolkit except for device input and tracking

#

But basically I get the controllers input and apply the values the a vector3 and use that to move my rig. Also drag and momentum etc to make it feel 👌

hidden falcon
#

well what's default works for me right now, wont hesitate to change it though. anyway what you said worked, ty

Hi. I am currently working on one of my first VR project. I am using a HTV Vive and open XR.
Currently I can grab an object with the trigger but now I want to scale the object by pressing a different button.
I have this but it only applies to the primary button:

XRBaseController controllerRight;
controllerRight.activateInteractionState.activatedThisFrame

How do I manage to assign a different button via script?

You need to deactivate a function on the controllers If I remember

#

It happens to me to

#

with action based

hidden falcon
#

Fixed it by changing from action based to device and turning off a few things

fallen bough
#

I just deactivated the function: slope to 0 and rotation to 0

#

On the controllers

#

Well I'm not here because of that

#

I want to know if anyone can help to resolve a problem I have when I play my game

#

I saw a tutorial of lighting in URP and changed my lighting settings to bake and other few things, now when I exported it and try the game is very very laggy, it takes about more than 10 seconds to representate the movement on the game, I tried to delete reflection probes, bake, postprocessing, lighting settings and everything I change, but that didn't worked, idk what to do and I want to update the game on SideQuest before more people dowload the old one.

someone knows what to do?

@fallen bough did you fix your light setup? and did you set up the lightmap properly?

#

and did you change this in isolation? so you don't have other edits invalidating your benchmarks

@fallen bough use source control like git. then you can revert your failed experiments and easily compare different ways of fixing a problem

I get the error right after agreeing to the EULA

rolled back but still no luck, the Q2 is stuck at loading after selecting the link option , i suspect because 90% of my ram is taken by this thing it doesn't have the resources to start 😐
