[final basin]

Thats what i thought, and im going through their source code and it all looks fine. No errors happening or anything

[hushed fox]

Hmm.. now that I think of it how would you actually do that?

Make the button a rigidbody? 😅

[true tapir]

umm yes?

[hushed fox]

Ah ok

[true tapir]

watch this vid hold up...

^^^

@hushed fox

[final basin]

Looks like it worked perfectly going from right to left, but then trying to grab it again with your right had a delay 🤔 But yeah, the right to left behaviour is exactly what i'd expect

Will debug further, but thanks for the sanity check

[true tapir]

Ok

[hushed fox]

Btw is there any way to use hand tracking without the toolkit?

[true tapir]

Yes the collider to grab it is way smaller thats why XD

[true tapir]

just use the toolkit

save urself time

like I said the 100+ C# scripts

it's 100% free

[buoyant jolt]

You can, it's mostly just the world position of the controllers that it helps you access. But there are ways to get at it all without using it

[buoyant jolt]

Generally you'll need a framework for hand tracking, usually like the oculus runtime.

We have an experimental OpenCV hand tracking we use on the Pico, but we don't use it through the XR toolkit at the moment.

[hushed fox]

I usually like making things myself if its possible bc then I feel like i have more control over my game

If I imported the toolkit but never used it would it impact my game in any way?

Like performance?

[true tapir]

umm no?

u are not using it so no

you might just have more extra syntacs if u use the namespace in c# scripts

I mean intellesense

afternoon everyone

Noticed that 2019LTS has finished support from the unity side. I still use it cause it supports the original steamvr plugin

anyone else had to port their stuff to a later version?

[north path]

If the project is (mostly) done in 2019 lts already, is there a reason to bump it to 2020?

[sleek iris]

Hey guys! Which headset should I buy for virtual reality development?

[tiny niche]

quest2, gives you the most platforms to target and wireless debugging opportunities

[coarse stratus]

anyone know how to move an xr origin spawn point?

[sleek iris]

Yeah that makes sense, thanks

[silver cove]

Wdym by that?

Like the location 🤣 wdym u just move it?

[coarse stratus]

yeah just move it somewhere else than the center of the scene. But I managed to do it but my centerpoint is al weird now

[vale mountain]

Is dithering viable for VR? I'm noticing color banding in dark scenes.

[tiny niche]

yes

[vale mountain]

Know of any tutorials for applying it to everything with lighting?

[last tartan]

When I’m using Unity in my Quest 2 headset via AirLink, my Unity screen comes up and I can interact with it except that my drop down menus are invisible from within the headset. The drop down menus do appear on my monitor so I know it’s working; I just can’t see it in the headset. I can even still select items from the (invisible) drop down menu with the oculus controllers; I just can’t see them in the headset so I have to peek out from the headset and look at the PC monitor to do it. (I watch the curser move down the menu on the PC monitor as I move the oculus controller.) Does anyone know how to fix this so the drop down menus are visible from within the oculus?

Also, where’s the best place to post very basic beginner questions?

[tiny niche]

there's postprocessing you can do to apply it to everything, but its slow

[rapid maple]

i dont know why but this controller wont pick up this item, im able to pick it up with a different direct interactor and a ray interactable but not this spesific one

[rapid maple]

it seems to be a problem it dont want to interact with non kinematic rigidbodies

but i have another hand that dont have this issue and i copied the component values and it still dont work

[rapid maple]

ive made a discovery. apparenly the direct interactor and ray interactor works differently and it does not use the settings from the XR controller the same way. for instance the direct interactor does not move held/selected objects, only the ray interactor does. this may or may not be some of the root of all these weird issues im having

[sleek summit]

Hello,
After spending hours searching, I come to ask for help here hoping to find a solution to my problem
I'm using a pico neo 3, and I would like to be able to read a file from my Assets/[..] folder, it works fine coming from my pc with Application.datapath, but impossible to find the right path to the Asset folder when running the application on the headset. I also tried with Application.PersistentDatapath...
Does anyone have any idea? Thanks a lot

[rapid maple]

wouldnt this be more of a programming question? and you should probably explain the code/how exactly you are doing it

[sleek summit]

It does but it's pico related so I didn't know :/
I will try in the programming section

Thanks

[rapid maple]

i was more thinking how you are reading a file from assets, either if you are using resources or reading files in different ways

[sleek summit]

For the moment I manage the thing like that, it works well in the unity editor :

[rapid maple]

have you made sure that this code works on the operating system for it? if its android or anything else than windows you should make sure that its compatible whith whatever system your headset is

[rapid maple]

is there an easy way to get the rigidbody of the selected interactable that is built in into the XR package?

[full agate]

Hello, I am working with OpenXR 1.3.1 with Unity 2021.2.16f1 on a VR game and I wanted to confirm (if anyone can), that with Windows Mixed Reality the input "UserPresence" always return true, and then is not usable ?

[long spade]

I have the same issue right now actually. I need to get the GameObject I am interacting with. I have no idea how to do that...
I don't think XR includes such feature unfortunately, as needed as it is. I think the only solution is to create my own interaction system, which is so much more flexible, but I really don't want to make my life harder than it has to be incase I missed something

If anyone knows how to get the GameObject I am grabbing/interacting with please let us know!

I mean there's this https://i.imgur.com/3xSpcg9.png

I just have no idea how to use it

Or if it's even useable

[rapid maple]

Im gonna do a very not great solution for it, in our player script that controls continuous movement and controller inputs that is not interactions; im gonna make a method that sets the current held item for left/right hand and plot it into the gameobject's interaction selection events. Its not a great solution since id rather want it to be a part of the already existing interactions or using the structure that's already there but that might prove difficult if there is no easy way to get the targets

I might have a look into editing the base xr interactior script to keep the gameobject saved in a variable in the interactor script while its selected

[rapid maple]

Since i couldn't figure out how to use this, and the other get selected interactables method

[long spade]

Bro I've been struggling trying to implement this for so long

Without using another raytrace

For that extra bit of optimization

💀

[rapid maple]

I'll keep you in mind when i go over this sometime this weekend and update you if i get anywhere

[long spade]

Does anyone know a function to stop the selection of an interactable?

I found CanSelect(XRBaseInteractable) in XRBaseInteractor yet I don't know how I go from XRGrabInteractable to XRBaseInteractor

Or how to even use it

There's even an allowselect but it doesn't help me much considering I still don't know how to get to the XRBaseInteractor

[long spade]

            Transform Base = CurrentlyGrabbedObject.GetComponentInParent<XRGrabInteractable>().transform.parent;
            if (Base == null) return;
            Base.GetComponent<XRBaseInteractor>().allowSelect = false;
            Base.GetComponent<XRBaseInteractor>().allowHover = false;

I did this and it changed absolutely nothing (in an update function too)
P.S. I tried this because there's a weird issue where if you point both controllers at eachother and there's an object inbetween, and you hold both grip buttons, it kind of goes crazy

Also fun fact that will kill you emotionally, if you hold grab and grab the side of an object like a cube, On Hover from the interactable go after you grabbed the object from the controller, and if you grab them properly then it goes before you grabbed the object from the controller

Just to elaborate, my approach is to mark the interactable as grabbed once hovered using it's built in hover call, and then from the controller side I can get it, and know which controller I'm talking about because of the controller's select call.

Though obviously this has to come with a lot of timing issues...

[pseudo yacht]

Been working on a little Arcade-Grapple Plattformer
https://streamable.com/b607sb

[tiny niche]

the interaction system is set up so the grabbables are not supposed to know about the controllers and the controllers are not supposed to know about the grabbables. Works as long as you only do interactions supported by the interaction manager

[tiny niche]

grappling is pretty lackluster unless you include lots of overhangs in your level design

[pseudo yacht]

of course
barely added things to the level, its just my testing space for the moment

[long spade]

I find that silly. I need to diffrienciate between a button and an interactable (for convenience, knowing when the button is "clicked" in VR without making an extra raytrace), and also of course fix the spam grab you can pull off

[tiny niche]

that's the thing, what you're trying to do is going to end up with a lot of circular dependencies

the interaction toolkit set out to solve that by offloading the interaction architecture to the interaction manager

[long spade]

What do you mean by that?
From what I can understand, I can't pull off what I wanted to pull off conveniently with the interaction system and would rather have to use an extra raytrace which is a little painful to think about considering I already have a raytrace. (Not to mention I would still be required to find the button/controllers for colour changing effects and whatnot)

[tiny niche]

raycast, raytrace is a rendering thing

[long spade]

Raycast, sorry

Got confused with Lua for a sec in that paragraph

[tiny niche]

basically you have to limit yourself to things that you can grab and activate, since that's what the toolkit can handle unless you modify it

would've been nice if they made it extendable, but they've made the implementation really opaque

[long spade]

If they're already casting a raycast to get whether the interactable is an interactable or not, and to grab it, it's very confusing as to why they don't allow us to figure out the interactable. And it's not just me stuck on this issue, another guy above requires it too.
I'm already like 80% into fixing it with circular dependencies, it's just really painful because even the timing is incorrect between the grab functions, hopefully I'll figure something out today.

[long spade]

I also don't think that piece of code of theirs is accessible

The one that casts the raycast

[umbral pollen]

anyone has problems with quest joysticks, sometimes all buttons map well ,other times they dont

[solar dune]

Yo anyone got a good grapple hook tutorial?

[pseudo yacht]

i used Dani's personaly, its simple and was relatively easy to port to VR

[solar dune]

Hm can you help me port it to vr?

[pseudo yacht]

iirc the only thing you needed to do different from his tutorial was attach a camera to the hand that is casting the hook and use that instead in the script

not completly sure anymore if it had other issues though

[solar dune]

alr

[pseudo yacht]

i made this with his grapple guide @solar dune https://streamable.com/shcn7v

[solar dune]

noice

I use gorilla tag locomotion, so what do I put the gun thing in?

[pseudo yacht]

his grapples by default dont pull/push, need to add that yourself if you want that

attached it to the hand you want to shoot from

[solar dune]

so the controller?

[pseudo yacht]

yup

"gunTip" is where the hook will origin from, "camera" is the camera used for the raycast iirc, player is the object the joint will be placed on, so pull in GorillaPlayer

[solar dune]

like this?

@pseudo yacht

[pseudo yacht]

should work i think?

[solar dune]

I tried, my camera turned into a dead fish but worse

and now im getting this lol

@pseudo yacht

[pseudo yacht]

right, you have to replace the input with the input system you use for the other VR stuff

[solar dune]

Where does that go?

[pseudo yacht]

its in the update function of his code, you replace the one there with the VR input

[solar dune]

alr now time to force my lazy brain to type

[pseudo yacht]

there should be an XR section on the camera, disable the XR rendering there

you could also try if it works with just your players camera, maybe you dont get the issue i had (the LineRenderer was acting a bit odd)

[solar dune]

hey sorry for being lazy but could you send me the code i need to add in

[cedar cliff]

hi everyone! this is my first time trying out vr game development so im just trying to basically get anything to run on my quest 2

i have it connected to my pc and all

but the play button doesn't start it in the headset (im in the link home)

and trying to 'build and run' it just results in a "gradle build failed" message

any ideas?

[solar dune]

can anyone send me a good vr grapple thing?

[long spade]

You need SteamVR active, also I recommend to watch this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxMzAw2Sg5w
It helped me a lot

[cedar cliff]

ahh thanku!

see i was watching their one from 2021

but maybe a couple things are outdated?

i did follow the things the comments were saying

[long spade]

Could be, skim through it and check

[cedar cliff]

oki

[long spade]

I'm also pretty new to unity but it worked for me

[cedar cliff]

@long spade it works!! thanku so much :DD

[long spade]

👍

[pseudo yacht]

Is there a way to change the FoV of the Camera that outputs to the Desktop Window?

[solar dune]

I need help with a vr grapple

[cedar cliff]

does anyone know why when i teleport (using a basic locomotion system with teleportation provider and a teleportation area attached to my floor plane), the camera height gets set much lower (pretty much the floor level), ive provided some screenshots but if you need more details just ask :)

XR origin transform.position.y is 1.1 and the camera y offset attribute is set to 0.2

the Camera Offset game object has a transform.position.y of 0.2

and the main camera has a transform.position.y of 0.45

nvm i immediately got it working xD

if anyone has the same issue, i just increased the camera y offset attribute in my XR origin object and didn't bother with the transforms of any of the objects

[sour sail]

Anyone know of a good tutorial for implementing a “grab air to move, scale, and/or rotate” mechanic? An example would be like in Gravity Sketch, Horizon Worlds Creator Mode, Tiltbrush, etc.

[sour sail]

I’ve searched high and low with no success. Maybe there is a specific naming convention for what I’m trying to achieve, but I’m just not aware of it?

[torn notch]

Hi so I have the gtag locomotion package and when I sideload I spawn in the air

[jolly girder]

how to make camera start in specific place?

[pine bison]

Just move the XR Origin to where you want to start

[jolly girder]

i did but when test starting, it moves somewhere else

and goes back in place after turning off

[pine bison]

Then try and putting it under a parent and move that instead

[tiny niche]

its simpler than you might think. basically you can think of it as grabbing 2 sides of a cube that scales to fit between your hands

inverse the transform on it and you've got the matrix that describes the new world space

[sour sail]

Ummmm….. 🥺

Hey, so, I'm using XR. But when I use link for my Oculus Quest 2, its not in vr mode.

Could you be more specific?
How is the project set up and what does and doesnt it do

[cedar cliff]

hi guys :]
im very new to vr game development, im having a sudden issue where my controllers (quest 2) aren't being tracked correctly by unity? like at all, this just started happening a couple days ago and before that it was working fine

now the raycast lines where my controllers should be are going crazy all about the place and glitching in and out

its not a hardware issue as the controllers work fine everywhere else on my quest

anyone know what might be causing this?

[gilded wyvern]

If I was to make a rigidbody a child of the controller, would smacking something with that object give a physics interaction?

like a punch or slap

or like, tennis stick

[gilded wyvern]

I wanna do a combination between blade and sorcery style weapon physics (all mass based and such) and kind of h3vr with the lack of a player's body

would a custom interactor that attaches the interactable and interactor by a joint be a good idea/

[storm ether]

guys im having an issue

so im using the vr baseplate from unity

but for some reason my controllers are always on the ground in game

[hearty cobalt]

so, im following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D2bN7xL5us&ab_channel=JustinPBarnett
and whenever I spawn in, I spawn in the sky.

[gilded wyvern]

i haven't watched this one but my guess is that you need to specify either a spawn point in a transform or coordinates, perhaps. or your player is already in the scene/game manager object is the spawn point, and it's too high up

[solar dune]

I could help with it

[opaque vine]

Hi! Did anybody get the quest 2 controllers working with the new input system? ReadValue just returns zeros for me on everything and I'm not sure where to start debugging. Already tried a few different package combination including openxr and various binding paths and it's always the same result. To know that it's possible at all would be a good start.😬

[mystic kraken]

Imported the Oculus XR Plugin Management thing into my project. How come Oculus.Platform isn't a valid namespace?

Using 2019.3.15f1

[tiny niche]

i use the actionbased system with my q2. works the same as when using the rift

just make sure the actions are enabled

[tiny niche]

ocusus has no plugin management stuff for unity

but you're probably referencing their openxr runtime

the namespace you're talking about is in their sdk though

[mystic kraken]

Ohhhh

So I just install the SDK and get all of them?

[tiny niche]

sure, but do you even want that sdk? its not a required thing usually

[mystic kraken]

The Oculus.Platform namespace is apart of what my friend sent me. I guess I gotta have it lol

It shouldn't be too bad

Is there a download link you can send? Sorry @tiny niche

[tiny niche]

its in the asset store

[mystic kraken]

Ah. Is it Oculus Integration?

[tiny niche]

yes, that's the sdk

[mystic kraken]

Alright. Thank you!

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew how to make it so when you move your controllers in a certain way it would cause an action

[hidden ember]

i have made a script for vr and whenever i put on my vr. the hands just stay at 0, 0 and continuously try to move there and i dont know if it has anything to do with the code or with unity

[tiny niche]

pro tip: its always your code that's broken ...even if it shouldn't be

[hidden ember]

well it wasnt

but your right

it is the code that is usually broken but

my code wasnt broken

i just forgot to add something in unity

LOL

[tiny niche]

things you do in unity is essentially your code as well

[hidden ember]

yeah true

my problem was i didnt put the 'XRI default input actions' file in the 'input action manager' tab

Is there anyone around that has experience with publishing a game to the oculus store? We are in the process of submitting but are having a hard time finding low hanging fruits in profiler.

does anybody know why my hands are flinging everywhere

[gray radish]

are there issues with the URP with the quest 2? I'm trying to figure out how anyone is hitting 120hz or similar with Unity

is using multiview instead of multipass essential for hitting those framerates? I've kind of hit a wall with identifying bottlenecks in my scene

[final basin]

I'm using URP but only recently ported to Quest2, so havent hit 72 yet. Though i don't intend to go beyond 90 if at all. I'd say multiview is essential, but you'll have to make sure all your shaders support it. Otherwise objects will only appear in one eye

[gray radish]

Most of our props use a shadergraph lit shader and I haven't been able to get that to not show up as bright magenta in-headset with multiview enabled

[gilded wyvern]

You have to make sure that you have the Universal target set in your shadergraph

[tepid bough]

How do i play my project on quest 2 wirelessly?

Unity project of course

[north path]

Air Link

[tepid bough]

Then what

if im already connected

[north path]

https://youtu.be/i4fPErsEJD4
This is a decenet start with my CPU optimization guide. Other than that look at the profiler

[north path]

Make sure oculus or openxr is enabled under PC in XR management and just press play

[tepid bough]

does it work with virtual desktop?

@north path

[north path]

Probably, but then you might need to run it via steamvr

[tepid bough]

Oh sure

Let me try

Doesnt work

i get this error

@north path

Anyone?

[north path]

@tepid boughDid you enable OpenXR on desktop

As I said, if you use virtual desktop it wont run using oculus

if you only use oculus package you should use air link or link

So I made a PID script for my hand and it works fine when I move the left controller manually in the editor but when I build it for my headset it follows my real hand fine but after like 5 seconds they just disappear. What's that about?

This is the script

Hold on gimme a sec lmao

[wraith shale]

it's going to be difficult for sure... basically what I'd suggest to try would be:

• use 2020.3 LTS (2021.2+ URP's are slower)
• don't use any postprocessing at all
• reduce resolution

I can only run URP at 120Hz with really simple scenes and every extra option turned off

(on Q2)

in addition, if your app design allows it, you could try oculus application spacewarp for projecting from 60->120

all in all... 120Hz on Q2 is hard to pull off, many can't even do 90Hz

[gray radish]

I had read on the unity forums the quest's current software version auto adjusts the level of fixed foveated rendering. Is this true or do I still need to enable this in my application?

unless there's another way I can reduce the resolution of my game that I'm unaware of

[hidden ember]

I am having alot of problems trying to get a body for my vr game im making a game with gorilla tag movement and want to make a character for the game i got a character and... i have no idea i followed a tutorial but they were using OVR and i was using XR but i still tried anyway and i tried remove the rectangle hands that i was originally using and move the PID script and hookeslaw scriptto the models hands but that still didnt work... i feel like there is an easy fix just my small brain cant think of it.. lol

this is unity XR for version 2020.3.30f1

[severe saffron]

this makes me sad. Im using BiRP and I can hit 120hz with terrain + LOD'd synty stuff.

When I tried URP, dropping everything including AA, I still couldnt hit 80hz 😱

Seems like there's nothing fast and performant about urp 😛

why do I keep flinging out of the map when I put on my vr headset.

It's perfectly fine until I put my vr headset on, then I go flying.

Hello everyone, I play the game VRchat, Recroom and I thought how did they make it possible to load so many rooms within the game for download? Do they use addressables/asset bundles?

[gilded wyvern]

if you have colliders on your body and hands, make sure that they're either on a layer that doesn't have intercollision, or that the hands are triggers

[wraith shale]

yeah I can imagine built-in could work better there, considering Quest is really bare bones target where you don't want any kind of overhead since you disable everything anyway

[severe saffron]

Yeah honestly dropping it to vertex lit gives me the best performance but obviously this looks poop.... particularly on terrain 😛

I remove specular and reflections on most materials, unless its something like a glass bottle or something that really needs it

[hidden ember]

how do i get a model for my game and put the scripts on in using XR

[uncut hedge]

Could also make the inter-colliding parts use a non-self-colliding layer...

[gilded wyvern]

That's what i meant, yeah

[uncut hedge]

Using unity XRs Action based controller component how can i get the button Action? for example oculus' A B X and Y buttons?

Any tutorials recommended out there for an oculus quest 2 character controller?

just looking for something to show me how they use the game stick. The premade VR input actions are pretty large

[gilded wyvern]

I can always recommend Valem on youtube. Look at his xr interaction toolkit playlist, that covers everything from moving to two hand grabbing, climbing and more

[buoyant jolt]

I could have told you that :D URP is a make work project

[buoyant jolt]

Yes but why would we?

[serene plank]

Idk bc it can be cool

[buoyant jolt]

Add the model to your Assets folder. Drag it into your scene. Add scripts onto it in the scene. You should really take an intro course though tbh.

[buoyant jolt]

Unity never supported it. They (as a company) require other companies to fund their support to a tune of 1m/yr for support.

Google however made the cardboard plugin for Unity, and has since opensourced it and ceased development of it.

[torn basin]

yo

please help me

[buoyant jolt]

This isn't a Microsoft discord. It's Unity.

[torn basin]

why can my character phase through walls>

[buoyant jolt]

I can say with full confidence I like my own ideas and XR projects more than the one in your head. So again, why would a developer want to build your dream idea instead of our own?

[torn basin]

hello'

?

[buoyant jolt]

What did you create that you think would stop them?

[torn basin]

idk

i just have the basic box collider in my xr origin

this is my settings on it'

[serene plank]

Bc my dream is the future of kids getting to see in vr how to learn it with new experiences

[buoyant jolt]

It doesn't work that way, you may want to look up a tutorial on collision fading for VR

[torn basin]

?

whats that

im new sorry

[serene plank]

How can i make a own vr game or vr thing

[torn basin]

use valems tutprials

[serene plank]

Okey

[torn basin]

i cant find any tutorials

[buoyant jolt]

I'd recommend learning some tutorials and build it on your own :)

[serene plank]

Okey you're ideas are idd better

[torn basin]

im not asking for a tutorial from you @buoyant jolt

[worldly adder]

im trying to make a vr game

but when i import an action based xr origin

my pointers arent being tracked

i followed the same steps i did for a different game

and i have zero idea of what to do

or what to post

[mossy matrix]

under project settings > XR, is the correct platform selected?

try switching to oculus or openXR

[flat gyro]

Hello guys

anyone willing to help? 😄

[buoyant jolt]

It depends on what the issue is. But you'll get a lot more responses if you post the issue.

[torpid aspen]

anybody know how to do this but with oculus integration? (im referring to the sprint mechanic that the purple player does in this 2D game) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/497874004401586176/955620438170566656/ezgif.com-gif-maker_2.gif

[buoyant jolt]

Please don't throw players across the room in VR unless you want them to get sick

[north path]

What Iloyd said, maybe make it some kind of ranged attack or a teleport attack instead of a jump

[lofty tangle]

Laughs in echo arena.

[north path]

That is smooth acceleration tho, and caused by pushing or jetpacking yourself

[lofty tangle]

There is the launchy thing at the beginning that moves fast.
Honestly a dash isn’t too much different than jumping. Just in another direction than up.

And if Someone can’t handle jumping then they’ve got weak constitution.

[worldly adder]

had my input manager set improperly

[median parcel]

Which Unity Asset works the best and is better for making a full game on the oculus quest 2 with 0 experience, autohands, Vrif, or hurricane, I'm only planning to get one that I can use forever and help get my ideas out there with.... also I'm willing to spend hours and hours looking at tutorials, so if there's a lot of documentation for one than that's good too! :)) please help me decide...

[iron bridge]

when i start my project the xr origin flies away anyone know why

[worldly adder]

my game is using openxr and theres a random haptic thing that happens when i press the trigger or grip button. i have no haptic events coded in and i cannot find an option to disable it

[severe saffron]

personally I love hurricane+hexa but autohand's new stuff looks pretty appealing and its cheaper

vrif is pretty meh by comparison

[true tapir]

TMP is very blurry when a few feet away from the text

I can't figure out why

[north path]

Add MSAA

[remote plume]

Hey there. I'm trying to update our game Tentacular to Unity 2021.2 (from 2019.2) and the experience is just utterly depressing. Would anyone tell me how to get SteamVR input working with OpenXR? I can't believe in what state VR is in 2022. Please help.

[north path]

Are you also switching from legacy XR to XR Management?
Because otherwise you can still use the steamvr xr plugin in 2021

If you make a build using OpenXR, it will automatically run on steamvr and oculus

[remote plume]

I'm pretty lost when it comes to all the different packages tbh

[remote plume]

can I DM you maybe?

[north path]

Then follow a guide on how it works in 2021

This is a decent one: https://youtu.be/1VC3ZOxn2Lo

OpenXR: Used for all desktop, unless you need very specific oculus or steamvr features. This will also future proof you

SteamVR: Steam only, if no per finger animation is needed use OpenXR

Oculus: Just use OpenXR for desktop, for Quest I do recommend the Oculux XR plugin

[remote plume]

if I used OpenXR people won't be able to configure their own controllers, like they can with SteamVR Input and I need to make new builds for new devices

[north path]

Is that the case?

You still run can run HMDs using SteamVR runtime, you just develop using OpenXR

OpenXR is cross platform, so new devices will be either really easy or automatically supported

All new devices should basically support OpenXR

[remote plume]

Thanks! I'll try to get deeper into the system.

[candid zodiac]

Hey, I'm using the OpenXR plugin and want to parent my righthand under a different gameobject, but it's transform data seems 'frozen'.
If I go into the editor and try to change it's values, it immediately updates to the old value again, even when tracking is turned off.

[opaque stag]

Hello, I am trying to do a house-tour in VR, I can walk around in the house and such but the problem is that there is no collision, so I cant walk up the stairs to the second floor. I have no idea how to fix it and I am just super stressed about it so could someone help me?

[gilded wyvern]

Make sure you have a collider for the player, and colliders on everything in the house

I can always recommend Valem for VR tutorials, even if you only need the movement; he has a tutorial on there

@opaque stag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NRTT8Tbmoc&list=PLrk7hDwk64-a_gf7mBBduQb3PEBYnG4fU&index=5

This video here

[opaque stag]

Yeah, That was actually the video that I followed when I created this but I cant for the life of me find what I missed, but I will go through it again

[cosmic needle]

hey, does anyone know why im getting random frame drops in my game? i go from about 100 fps to like 10
Its so weird, the game runs fine for like 5 min. but then i get these horrible frame drops, weirder is, that if i restart the game then, i still get massive frame drops, only thing that fixes it is restarting my pc and Vr headset

Why in the world would this happen?
Im pretty shure none of my scripts cause this, since i have disabled all of them for testing, so i really dont understand why this is happening

The frame drops are more like lag spikes, runs fine for 3 sec. then at 3fps for 10, repeating

im loosing my mind

are there some compatibility issues with URP or smth?

[opaque stag]

Could a capsule Collider for the player (VR Rig) and Mesh Collider for the house work?

@gilded wyvern

[gilded wyvern]

Yeah, that's what Valem uses

[opaque stag]

Must have somehow missed that, I will try it now

[opaque stag]

I have a mesh collider for the parts were I need to have them but I still dont get it to work so, what do i need to have in it? do I need to have this "Convex" and "Is Trigger" options? and what about "cooking" and "Material". @gilded wyvern

[vagrant yarrow]

Hey guys, do you know if I can get VR stereo in URP using skybox-panoramic material? I've tried 3D layout option (my image is over under) but with oculus link I got no stereo..

[gilded wyvern]

set it to Convex, leave IsTrigger off

[gilded wyvern]

and in the dropdown for cooking and stuff, leave that to "everything"

Convex mesh colliders are more performant (iirc, might be wrong) that non convex ones

[daring temple]

i have an empty game object with the Tracked Pose Driver (New Input System)

i am trying to get the transform position (get) but it always returns zero

if i click on it while running the editor it shows its ever changing coords in the position tab of the inspector

i have tried making it an asset to no avail

please help me

[opaque stag]

@gilded wyvern Thanks for the help so far. It is sort of working now, I cant get up the stairs but I cant walk through them anymore and I can walk through the walls to get outside but I cant get back in after, Which is sort of reverse on how I would prefer the walls to work

And the gravity is messed up but that might be because I have the wrong layer chosen? I had one called "house" but I have set it to Everything now, which might be better. Followed Valems guide for it. Sorry for needing help with so much haha

[near juniper]

hi, i have a question, which hardware device u use for vr dev?

[gilded wyvern]

I myself use the Oculus Quest 2 connected via cable to the computer

[tiny niche]

quest2, using air link

[near juniper]

okay nice and for AR? Tablet? Smartphone? Ar glases / which?

[tiny niche]

you pretty much have to target phones when doing AR

unless its an industrial application and you use hololens

[buoyant jolt]

I have on my desk right now, Quest 1, Quest 2 Pico 2 Eye, Pico 3 Eye, Rift, Rift S, Vive, Samsung Odyssey. Right now only the Quest 2, Pico 3, Rift S and Vive are connected to my PC, the rest are on the desk but not connected at the moment.

[buoyant jolt]

I shave 30+ AR enabled devices for testing, probably 10 or so on my desk including third eye and hl2. We don't use ARFoundation, so we test a lot more devices as we cover high and low end phones and tablets.

I also have 4 or 5 various depth sensors on my desk, real sense, Kinect 2, leap motion etc. But those are for our more experimental stuff

Finally, I recognize I need to clean my desk

[true tapir]

but you are limited to only Steam LOL. And yes you can still configure with OPEN XR

you just use the new input system

😉

[true tapir]

it's because you are using a rigidbody?

if you use a controller collider you can change the height to go up things manually

[remote plume]

Thing is we already have the game fully working for Oculus (PCVR & QUEST) and SteamVR. For Quest I will need to use Oculus SDK anyway as far as I know so I have to wrap controls in any case

[true tapir]

or with a rigidbody code it to go up stepper slopes

wdym steam vr will only work with steam vr

you cannot port to anything else

like the oculus store, etc.

that is why Open Xr is the go to for multiplatform if you are not making everything from scratch

it's really not that bad to use

here is an example of a little project I am working on using it

https://streamable.com/bquv76

a couple weeks old since I recorded this so I have a lot more features but o well XD

[hidden ember]

Help me, i have a PID and Hookes law code to make the gorilla tag physics but i want to make a character with that. BUT
i have followed tutorials on how to make a character and i just expexted it to work but i just flew straight up into the air and/or the hands were not tracking their position properly

[true tapir]

well join Justin's Discord since you are following his tutorial. You should be learning not strait copy and pasting what you watch.

[mild igloo]

Has anyone dabbled in using your finger to interact with UI? Not a long raycast but direct finger to button interaction?

[silver cove]

Yes

[kind sundial]

yes, it can be done quite easily and works just as well

[acoustic shell]

can someone help me

[sacred venture]

Does any one have any idea on how I can address the problem.

My character dips below my environment she has a collider, so does the ground.

[mild igloo]

Can you point me in the direction of a resource to study or is something explaining it ?

[fickle spire]

is it possible to offset your VR hand position from the position of the controllers?

[atomic quarry]

I want to have a player collider for my unity VR interaction toolkit game. How would I get the right dimensions for the boxcollider?

[sacred venture]

Thanks for the response.

[kind sundial]

Check out VR with Andrew and Valem on youtube, no use in someone trying to explain you the steps

[pine bison]

The character controller does a lot of what you might want. Check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zrde_WTaiI

[north path]

Yep, but you may need to write your own XR Pose drigers for the hands, or find the script responsible for changing the positions and ajusting it

[real pagoda]

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone help me with, I want to hammer a Nail inside a wooden block. Can anyone help me with how can I do that

[rich slate]

how do you make a head that follows where you look

like gorilla tag

[gray estuary]

Hi guys, I've a problem with the last version of OpenXR & XR Toolkit.
My Valve Index controllers are not detected by unity, I don't know what could be possibly missing.
I've checked OpenXR in the manager, also selected Valve controllers

I have the XR Origin, my headset move correctly, but bot of my controllers are stuck at the position zero. Neither they appear in the XR Debugger

[north path]

Read the OnCollision. In here get the velocity of the hammer and decide how much that will move the hamer down.

Will be hard to do this physically accurate I think. Maybe with joints but doubt it

[fickle spire]

how do you make realistic hand movements? like when u close ur hand using the controller, the hand actually closes around an object instead of clipping into the object and forming a fist?

[pine bison]

That's caleld hand posing. There are a few tutorials out there. And an asset called auto hand

[fickle spire]

but to detect the collision of the hand, should i use a rigidbody or collider?

[rich slate]

rigid body

[atomic quarry]

I have a character controller but collisions don't register
I think this is because i'm using the OnCharacterColliderHit and it only activates when the move method is being used, but I want it to be controlled by VR movements and not the move() method

[storm ether]

Im starting to develop on my oculus quest 2 using oculus link (my computer is supported) and the controllers arent being detected in the default virtual reality scene, havent changed the default settings at all

[storm ether]

what version of unity should I use to develop vr games, and what's a good tutorial to learn how, ive been using 2021.2 and the tutorials and documentation dont tell me nearly enough

[buoyant jolt]

Open the OpenXR sample scene, see if that one works (it did for me). Then I double checked SteamVR was added to the input list for OpenXR. If that is still an issue at that point, close and reopen .

[buoyant jolt]

Unity documentation, and unity learn, has deteriorated quite significantly. Their frameworks (all of them) are a bit of a partially documented mess and much of what they create lately is deprecated a few versions later. It isn't you, their quality has tanked since 5.6x.

For VRTK/SteamVR/Oculus direct I recommend 2019.4.

For OpenXR/Pico/PSVR I recommend 2020.3.

I haven't seen any tutorials off hand that I would recommend

[fickle spire]

does somebody know of a free vr hand model with colliders for each segment of each finger? ive looked around online and the only hand models i have found only have 1 collider per hand

[final basin]

The hand models in SteamVR Unity Plugin have colliders at most of the joints of the fingers. So spheres at the knuckles rather than capsules going from knuckle to knuckle

[real escarp]

hi all - ive been working on a wee project, football related, the objects are all (box colider/rigidbody/OVR Grabbable - when I pick up and object and it virtually hits the stomach of the user, it shoots them right across the game - I have no idea how to stop it from doing that - any help is appreciated, thanks

[dapper sandal]

Anyone have a direction on how to render a shader independently to each camera? For a simple example I'd just like to render like two independent colors, one to the left eye camera and one to the right. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use the URP and apply a shaderGraph based shader to each camera independently (if that makes a difference). Any direction on what I should be looking into is greatly appreciated.

[fickle spire]

This would be great, by any chance, couldyou link me to the download for this model?

[fickle spire]

I will be using these hands to develop a pair of my own vr haptic gloves with force feedback. Ive figured out how finger tracking will work, and i plan on detecting collisions between a rigidbody (vr hand) and colliders (objects in the environment). This will activate the force feedback mechanism. However, i still am not sure as how to determine when to be able to pick up an object, as pre programmed hand poses will not work with haptic gloves

For example, normally irl u cannot pick up a basketball with 1 hand, unless: your hand is enormous and your grip strength is huge, you are lifting up the bbal from underneath, or you are using 2 hands

[hidden ember]

im getting this error when i try get the build for my game

[atomic quarry]

@pine bison do you know how to do this?

[atomic quarry]

So my current fix is to add a gameobject with a capsule colldier and a position restraint on the camera. Is this a fine option?

[magic hornet]

Im getting this error

[junior cove]

i keep getting this fatal error everytime i try to build it

how do i fix it

[vivid void]

So I'm making a vr game, and i've just set up the vr settings but the hands are moving all around the place and not synced with the actual controllers. If anyone can help me, that would be great! I'm new to vr dev

[pine bison]

Follow a beginner setup tutorial @vivid void. VR with Andrew, Valem and Justin P Barnett are good channels

[buoyant jolt]

I'm not sure why you have a rigidbody and physics enables collider on the stomach, that sounds wrong to me in VR or it'll cause forced motion.

I'd also recommend light baking that scene so it looks nice :)

But what you built appears to be doing what it should do. The plastic thingy has a collider and is attached to the hand, so touching a base collider if you have one would cause it to move. Because the hand is attached to the base collider the cycle continues

Hi guys, I just started making a game for the Quest 2 using the XR Interaction Toolkit, but after setting up the rig based on the package's manual, I'm not able to move around using the controller even though the camera movement it's fine.

Does anyone know if there's something else that I need to set up specifically for the package to work with the Quest 2?

[manic coral]

how do i do that

[lyric jasper]

I'm having the same issue and I'm getting this error

Anyone know why my vr game does that?

It does it with the apk but not with unity editor

[jagged anvil]

I fixed my issue after adding the Locomotion System object since I removed it by mistake while messing with the scene assets.

If you disable the renderer of a mesh, it can't show.

hi guys any chance to add Swipe slideshow for our VR ?

[bright jacinth]

you could maybe make it follow the hand's x or z coord then just check if it goes past 50% of the image width?

Well it’s still there but it’s fine

The game is not out yet so I have time to work on it

[frank lion]

Hi, is there a way to get the endpoint position of the laser pointer in the XR interaction toolkit?
I mean the position that the reticle goes to when the target is valid.
I don't want to make my own script casting ray each frame when that script is clearly using it already.

[inner fossil]

does it assume that I load, let say 5 char on the character selection menu

but only displaying one of them on game world ?

[bright jacinth]

I would assume you could just do the same thing as the video just using the hand's position instead of a mouse one, right?

[inner fossil]

why I'm talking about character selection tho 🤦

[inner fossil]

it's summer sale happening on the marketplace

[bright jacinth]

???

[inner fossil]

which asset you think compatible with VR ?

[bright jacinth]

😖 what kind of asset

[inner fossil]

slideshow mate ...

[bright jacinth]

I thought you were gonna code it yourself 😳

I have no idea about any assets

[inner fossil]

I'm about to make the object animation inside the game, so I'm gonna go buy the asset instead

[bright jacinth]

ok

[buoyant jolt]

Sure, it’s not too difficult 🙂 I’d probably recommend making them grab the image to physically move it though, as people tend to respond best to real world physics in VR

I don’t buy assets for code though, most are written pretty crappily, and by the time you go to use it they will have deprecated it and started charging for a newer version.

And buying it for art and assets is risky as about 1 in 60 asset packs get flagged for copyright violations over their lifetime - silently and without informing you. So you are likely to ship something with stolen EA assets and get your game magically held in legal hostage down the road

[inner fossil]

this is not for commercial

[buoyant jolt]

It’s just a line renderer, you definitely can. The linerenderer and pointer already store that end point data

[inner fossil]

for educational purpose only

[buoyant jolt]

But there are better demos in the XR examples for indirect interaction using ray casts iirc

[buoyant jolt]

No worries - I suspect it’s faster to just write the code though. It should only take 5/10mins if you’ve done VR dev before. There are lots of interaction demos to use with the different frameworks if you want a reference though

[inner fossil]

it would be great I really appreaciate it Lloyd.
@bright jacinth gave me one

I'm using it yet

[opaque stag]

So I am currently having an issue were the player will fall through the ground if I use any other controller-prefab except for the cube that I created early on as a placeholder, No idea why, please help

[jagged anvil]

guys, what's your way of handling collisions for VR games? I've tried adding a capsule collider and a rigidbody to my player and I can collide with walls just fine, but if I add a collider to an object that I can grab, once grabbed, Unity will try to separate the player's collider and the object's and removing the rigidbody from the player solves it, although the rest of the collisions won't work

[tiny niche]

you should ignore collisions between the player than things you grabbed

[flat gyro]

Does anyone know how I can test my game without airlink or cable?

Because it doesn't work for me

[tiny niche]

sounds like your quest is broken. but you can always do a regular build

[flat gyro]

well

I have been trying to use airlink

but it just infinity loads

and I can't really make a game when I can't test it

[tiny niche]

well you can test it on the device, but you dont want to do tht for everything

cable not working is strange though

[wraith shale]

there's also virtual desktop but that can be pain in Unity editor... and if you can't get airlink to work, chances are VD wouldn't do anything for you anyway

[tiny niche]

@flat gyro i assume you checked and made sure your pc meets the min specs?

[wraith shale]

oh

@flat gyro you are using win11 aren't you?

oculus still doesn't support it, but I think VD should work there now

[flat gyro]

No?

It's windows 10

[wraith shale]

huh

[flat gyro]

I mean... my Virtual Desktop works just fine

[tiny niche]

and you're not trying to run it on a 1050 or something?

[flat gyro]

Worse

My GPU sucks

My PC in general sucks

but I have been using airlink before

CPU = i3-9100F GPU = GTX 960 RAM = 8

that's my specs

[tiny niche]

960 is right on the edge of min specs as i recall

[flat gyro]

yeah

it is

[wraith shale]

it was even for original rift cv1

it should run current Unity VR though, just have to downres a ton

[flat gyro]

Do you know if it's possible to use Virtual Desktop?

[tiny niche]

im guessing you've firewall blocked air link or something

[wraith shale]

you mean the Virtual Desktop app from quest store?

[flat gyro]

yeah

[wraith shale]

if it works, sure.. but you have to use steamvr/openvr plugin for the editor I think because VD can't inject oculus runtime for unity editor easily

and their openxr support isn't fully done afaik

you could try testing this with VD: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/steamvr-plugin-32647

it's not ideal since you can't use oculus api with that but it's better than nothing

and you can still use the regular abstracted api

[flat gyro]

If I can just test the game and see if everything works fine, then it's all good for me

[random cradle]

Sooooo I have another question, I've been trying to get Post Processing to work on one of my scenes, however when I enable it but keep all the individual effects off, the left eye will remain normal, but the right eye will be completely underexposed, if anyone knows what could be going on here I'm all ears

(it of course also didn't work when some or all of the effects were enabled)

[buoyant jolt]

Not all post processing works in VR with Unity

It often needs you to change from Forward to Deferred, and quite often it cant tell the camera difference between the eyes properly and effects will either only run on one eye or behave unexpectedly

Use it cautiously in VR

[random cradle]

Damn, outta luck
Cheers for the quick response!

[buoyant jolt]

In the meantime try changing to deferred rendering or vise versa - it might fix it

[random cradle]

will do

just tried, neither of em had any effects unfortunately

[raven bough]

Peeps hey! I'm using unitys xr origin component and it's working amazing for picking up stuff.
The problem is that the Ray Interaction is going through my UI! I can't pesss buttons or anything.
Any suggestions?

[raven bough]

Oh wait I think I had something wrong on the event manager (upgraded from old project)

[buoyant jolt]

Sounds like that's the problem just need to update your eventsystem

[gloomy hare]

Hey, very stupid question regarding the XR Interaction Toolkit: What is the proper way of creating actions that only fire once per keypress? Right now I just read the value from the keypress, and compare it with the previous frame, but there is probably a built in interaction which does exactly this, I just don't know what it is called

[tiny niche]

use the new action-based system, it lets you add an interactor to the binding that does this

[gloomy hare]

Ok, thanks!

[gloomy hare]

Am I doing it correctly by setting the interactor to tap, and lowering the max tap duration to something like .01?

[tiny niche]

@gloomy hare you'd have to read the docs, i'm not sure if tap tries to replicate keyboard text input

you should also consider if you want it to trigger on press or on release

[gloomy hare]

Yeah thanks, but could you direct me to the documentation? All I was able to find was documentation tied to locomotion and the scripting API, not for the actual action system. I just assumed up to this point that maybe documentation was lacking do to it being a newer package or something

[tiny niche]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.3/manual/Interactions.html

[gloomy hare]

Aha, I knew I was beeing stupid. I was looking at the XR docs the entire time

[tiny niche]

the action system has nothing to do with vr, which probably led you to look in the wrong package docs

[gloomy hare]

Yeah, I assumed the XR interaction system was seperate from the normal interaction system. I'm still new to Unity :P

[tiny niche]

oh it is, the xr interaction system has nothing to do with the action system's interactors

the action system is just a fancy middle-man for handling input emulation/rebinding

[gloomy hare]

Ah, ok, now I understand. Sorry about drawing this out so much, I was just confusing the action system for being part of the XR interaction toolkit, when in fact it isn't. I just realized it says (Input Actions) next to my asset. Again sorry about this, should have read over docs again before asking

How can i setup vr game

??

i loaded my game on 2 application and the 'other player' is just a floating head

[hidden ember]

wait...

how do i setup movement for vr multiplayer using photon

i cant find any tutorials

[storm ether]

Im having an issue in my project where my controllers would follow the movement of my headset rather than individual movement. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix it?

[tiny niche]

don't parent the controllers to the head

and make sure you bind them to the correct trackers

#🥽┃virtual-reality Hey Guys, does anyone know anything about creating VR cockpits. I have levers with hinge joints for restricted motion etc but unfortunately its throwing my craft 17,000 feet in the air at about 100g's 😂 not too sure where to look or what to do as there is very little in the way of information out there... or i could be looking in the wrong places!

[tiny niche]

in general you can't rely on joints when making vehicles perform well

you have to treat the physics engine with kid gloves and boil the control mechanisms down to applying forces and torque

[quaint bloom]

oh god really! what would be your suggestion for making these controls because ive spent two weeks searching the net and cant find a thing to help :/

essentially you are sat in the craft and i want to use levers and sliders

[tiny niche]

i'm talking about the movement of the craft itself, not the interaction visuals

but you don't need the entire physics system to be involved, just to use levers and sliders

for a slider, you project the hand position onto a line to figure out where on the slider you are

in the case of a lever, you project onto a plane that the lever moves along and calculate the relative angle from the start position

[quaint bloom]

the explanation sounds simple but its the execution that i cant figure out :p

its frustrating because the models and ui look great but everything relating to actually getting it moving messes up and im spending ALOT of time on such a stupid small thing

[tiny niche]

that stupid small thing is called gameplay and should normally be 95% of your workload

[quaint bloom]

i didnt mean the whoe gampleay mechanics just this one thing is holding me back from getting anything else done :/

[slender quarry]

anybody see anything here that would prevent my XR Direct Interactor on my XR Controller (action-based) from picking up anything, including an extremely basic XR Grab Interactable?

[high mason]

Hi, I'm looking for some feedback on a free asset we just publish https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/auth0-authentication-for-vr-oculus-216543 I'd love to know your thothoughts

[real escarp]

Thanks pal, much appreciated 🙂

[buoyant jolt]

I've already expressed my thoughts, locking the oauth demo to the Oculus SDK, requiring people to remove their headset for authentication, and only supporting 2020 onward is a step backwards in all 3 cases. Giving out an asset pack for free that requires your platform isn't actually free and sharing that here is clearly just trying to advertise on the discord server @high mason

There are a bunch of web browser plugins that will allow people to use any auth system of their choosing, and without needing to leave VR to log into something

[fickle spire]

im creating my own physics VR hands w colliders on each finger segment and rigidbodies. I have all the physics, movement, and pick-up actions programmed, but for some reason, i cant move the hands and they are just vibrating back and forth

does anybody have any idea how to fix this

[fickle spire]

^this only started after i added everything required to pick interactable objects up

[iron bridge]

I am making a mouse game and when i start the project i can see the nose of my mouse how do i fix this?

[stoic storm]

Hellon its not my first vr project, but its the first time this happened:
I have to work under unity 2018.4. So i build my game and put it on my quest 2 with sidequest, and when i launch it in my headset, the app open as a sort of a window, not in 360, anyone know why ?

[tiny niche]

why that version? its old enough that it may not be compatible with the quest store requirements once you're ready to release

[stoic storm]

I'm in video game studio, i had to take an old project wich was under 2018.4, and i've choosed to do not upgrade (i had good reason but i forgot them 😶)

Everything was find, but there is this problem on the build, i don't know if its because the editor or not, i think i'll try to upgrade it in 2020 last lts (i know that this build under this version work) and see what happens

[obsidian marsh]

Hi!

I've updated an old Oculus project to 2022 unity and now I only see my built game with my right eye

could someone tell me what setting should I change to fix this?

[nova sequoia]

the xr interaction toolkit do be kinda broken

for some reason the "grab interactable" prefab in the toolkit only gets grabbed if I set its scale to 1

LOL
Ok I figured out, for some reason collision is veeeeery far apart (not a me problem)

the ball is the actual controller location, the sphere is the collision

[worldly adder]

i am using openxr and there is this really weird thing. the controllers vibrate when i press the trigger or grab

this is not a feature ive turned on

its not in any of my scripts

yet its still doing it

and i cant find a toggle for it

please help

[languid zealot]

.

[buoyant jolt]

I'll be honest, the entire toolkit is rather poorly written. I'm not sure how much, if any, we will be keeping in most of our projects.

It's kind of like the Unity devs that built it never actually shipped anything or researched anything in VR

[torn basin]

how do you setup the gorillatag unitypackage

[fickle spire]

im giving both the actionbasedcontroller and devicebasedcontroller a try. the device based one works fine - the hand models in my unity project follow the movement of my controllers. however, when i switch to actionbased, for some reason, the hands are stuck in their original positions, just vibrating back and forth. does anyone know whats wrong

[true tapir]

umm you didn't add the interaction mapping for the new input system yet it seems like also you haven't added the interaction manager script item in the inspector

[slender quarry]

that wasn't the problem

that field gets automatically assigned once the scene starts, given that there is an interaction manager in the scene

the problem was simply a physics layer misconfiguration

the trigger collider doesnt work unless it can collide with the interactable's physics layer

[true tapir]

it should automatically be setup once you imported it. You added the samples/dependences right once added the package manager?

[slender quarry]

if you're asking me if the interactions themselves were configured on the manager or the asset, yes they were

before, i was using a ray interactor, which doesn't need a collider on the interactor to function, and doesn't need physics setup

[sage wren]

Hello, I stole the jump code of a YouTube video but when I used it some bugs appeared, my right hand doesn´t move and when I grab the something I just fly, I deleted the code but all the but the bug didn´t disappear. Does anyone know how I fix it?

[hidden ember]

can someone tell me how i can test a vr game.. that has movement

[sage wren]

I already solve it

[sage wren]

go to the project settings, xr plugin management and check oculus, then connect your Vr to the pc and start the game

That worked to me

[hidden ember]

sorry.. i meant like multiplayer.. like 2 people but its only me

[sage wren]

sorry but I dont know

[sage wren]

How do I Jump?

[tiny niche]

add a desktop client that can act as an observer, then you can keep a window of it inside vr

[wary junco]

Does anyone have recommendations for creating a VR/PC loading? I was thinking of making a loading scene where it waits for XR System detection and if none, it loads PC scene, if XR System found, it loads XR Scene. Wondering if there is something simpler, and how one would detect if XR system was found. Client wants to push for PC and Oculus. Was going to use OpenXR, but seems like maybe I shouldnt

[wary junco]

Any tutorials on this? or terminology?

[worldly adder]

i guess you could detect the presense of a hmd and if not then dont load vr, if yes load vr

not entirely sure how you would do that

cause im pretty sure enabling vr happens at the start of the runtime

idk if you can disable vr during runtime tho

[wary junco]

I guess when I get home I can try to see…. I read one of the above posts and it got me thinking about the viewer mode… in theory if you can do vr with a viewer you should be able to just disable it. Would be more practical for Unity to have something built in so that game development with vr could be universal. Ex, XR.EnableVR(true);
XR.DisableVRInput(true);

[worldly adder]

im pretty sure openxr isnt developed by unity

dont take my word for it tho

im still dumb when it comes to xr

[wary junco]

Fairly sure it isn’t. But some features should be

[worldly adder]

openxr has this thing where the trigger and grab buttons produce haptics that arent controllable at all. its hard coded

even though im pretty sure the answer on how to disable it is

right in front of my head

cant be sure tho

im not an expert

[wary junco]

Can’t you disable haptics on the built in scripts?

[worldly adder]

ive tried looking through the openxr scripts

found zero mention of the haptics

even when you disable the xrcontroller script its still present

thats the confusing part for me

there is an openxr dll

ive already tried dnspy but it appears to be obfuscated in some way

[wary junco]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/solved-steamvr2-cannot-prevent-haptic-pulse-from-firing-when-trigger-pulled.585001/

According to this you need to try steam bindings on your buttons

[worldly adder]

huh?

ill give it a read

[wary junco]

Steam bindings

[worldly adder]

give me a moment

didnt appear to fix it

the odd thing is it happens on the grip button too

the grip button wasnt binded to haptics

[wary junco]

Can try that too

[worldly adder]

does it specify where this json happens to be

is it a unity thing or a steamvr thing

[wary junco]

It doesn’t. I think it’s in the steamvr folder

You changed this setting already and saved it?

[worldly adder]

no

but i think i figured it out

it doesnt recognize the unity project

which means its not going to show my game in the dropdown menu

[tiny niche]

its just standard non-vr multiplayer stuff

[hidden ember]

i have a gun in my game and im using gorilla tag movement but my hand is interacting with the gun causing me to float how do i make it so this does not happen?

[tiny niche]

why is the hand interacting with the gun? doesn't sound like your game needs physical hand-gun interactions

[hidden ember]

im using gorilla tag locomotion with guns cause i thought it would be a cool concept but when i try pickup the gun, my hands hit the guns colliders and i just fly

here a video

[worldly adder]

disable the guns collider when your picking it up

[hidden ember]

yeah i was trying to do that

but the code i was using didnt work

[worldly adder]

hmm

can i see the code in question?

[hidden ember]

1 sec i need to get it

is this right?..

.

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
this.enabled = false;
}

[worldly adder]

hmm

how about the script on your gun

like the script that does all the stuff when its picked up

is there any code that runs when the gun is picked up

[hidden ember]

yeah

i think

[worldly adder]

hmm

your gun has an xr grab interactable component on it right?

[hidden ember]

yes

[worldly adder]

alright

give me a sec

alright

so

on the xrgrab interactible

theres a drop down menu called interactible events

[hidden ember]

yes

[worldly adder]

on select entering is what you want

public void gunGrabbed() {
    collider.enabled = false;
}```

public void gunReleased() {
    collider.enabled = true;
}```

make a new script or put these functions in your gun script

[hidden ember]

ok

thanks

[worldly adder]

then just put the gameobject with the gun script into these variables and select your script and the classes

[worldly adder]

ye np

[hidden ember]

i got errors that say (unity upgradable) how do i upgrade unity

[worldly adder]

What

Can you show me the error

[hidden ember]

sorry 1 sec

when i saved the file it said i could upgrade unity but i cancelled it..

[worldly adder]

Oh yeah

You need to define a collidrr

Public Collider collider

Put that in your script

[hidden ember]

ok

[worldly adder]

Also make sure the script is attached to the gun itself

And put a collider in

[hidden ember]

this?

[worldly adder]

Where are you putting this

[hidden ember]

should i just put this in an entirely new script

[worldly adder]

are you putting the public collider outside of the class?

[hidden ember]

i think so

[worldly adder]

it has to be inside the class like this

[hidden ember]

oh

that fixed it

[worldly adder]

perfect

[hidden ember]

i tried it out and im still flying 💀

damn

nvm

i forgot someting

im still flying but im pretty sure i did everything

[hidden ember]

i just got another error for this part and i dont know how..

[worldly adder]

It’s not assigned

You need to define the collider in the script

Or well

The component

Just go to where your script is and drag the collider for the gun onto the collider variable

[hidden ember]

i dont see the collider variable

[worldly adder]

do you see this when you go over to your script on the gameobject

[hidden ember]

ye my bad.

[hidden ember]

i have 2 colliders tho

[worldly adder]

duplicate the collider variable and rename it to collider 2

then just duplicate the collider enable and disable lines

and replace collider with collider 2

[celest mural]

Got a weird little bug in the game atm - when the scene switches to an end of game final scene (a black void with a transparent floor), the right eye gets this sort of after-image blur effect, while the left eye is perfectly fine. Not sure what's causing it, since my only visual effect is just a simple fade to black when the scene switch happens. Anyone have something similar occur?

[hidden ember]

i have an error now that says gungrabbed and gunreleased is already defined can i change this to something elses or...?

[worldly adder]

show code

actually

show the entire script

i think i know what you did

[worldly adder]

yup

exactly as i thought

you duplicated the function

not the line

[hidden ember]

oh yeah

i see now

i put 'collider2' in with 'collider'

[worldly adder]

gunGrabbed() {
    collider.enabled = false
    collider2.enabled = false
}```

[hidden ember]

yup

[worldly adder]

gunReleased() {
    collider.enabled = true
    collider2.enabled = true
}```

Leave the gravity value as is. Instead set the rigid body use gravity to false.
And on the object that has the collider, use on trigger enter and exit to set true or false

[hidden ember]

im following valems tutorial on inverse kinematics and i finished the first part.. but whenever i look down the body moves and the head but my camera is still in one place.. its like the model is not connected to my camera.. what do i do?

[hidden ember]

yes.. i still need to fix position but why when i move my head down the body goes down?

[tiny niche]

that's normal. you need to do an ik/ai setup for the legs as well

[hidden ember]

but in valems tutorial when he looked down the body didnt move with it

also my games not gonna have legs.. lol

kinda like gorilla tag

[fierce siren]

How would someone reset the position of the oculus head position when loading a new scene ? I want the player to be aligned with my XR Origin and not used previous session orientation. In other words, the player should be facing a very specific direction when starting the scene, so I want to disregard "tracked orientation" and force player to look this way

[tiny niche]

then your setup is not identical to his

[hidden ember]

thats probably cause he was using OVR and i was using XR

[tiny niche]

no, its more likely because your ik hierarchy is not identical to his

your problem is an ik one, not a tracking one

[clever raft]

guys help, im making a game with gorilla tag locomotion, but the controllers dont go to the original controllers' locations, and its very low fps, i imported on quest 2

i had to switch to vulcan and gamma since it only lets me build with these options

im using unity 2022 alpha

it the only one there

in alphas

[pliant herald]

Hii im working on making a full body vr game but im really struggling with make a vr callibration system with the steam vr plugin, does anybody know how to make this?

[dire stag]

You do realize that alpha versions are less stable versions right?

[clever raft]

well then how do i fix the license issue in unity 2021?

it works normally in other version

only versions from 2021 have issues

[buoyant jolt]

Switch to Unreal :). Or delete the license and re-add it.

Using a beta means it isn't well tested and will have many bugs. It's recommended against that for many reasons.

Using an alpha is even worse.

[hidden ember]

ive checked and it is.. the only thing different is that his is OVR and mine is XR

[clever raft]

firstly, i have no idea how to make gorilla tag locomotion, so i use a tutorial, and i dont think theres a tutorial for unreal engine, second, i tried readding the license many times, didnt work

[lofty tangle]

I mean the math would be the same you would just use whatever physics engine unreal has instead of unitys

[tiny niche]

then you must've missed something. Cause the ik has nothing to do with the tracking sdk

[hidden ember]

but my problem is that the head is not following the camera.. cause in his video when he looks down the camera goes with it but my camera stays still and the body moves and i have copied all the code exactly

[tiny niche]

the ik is probably mostly done in the object graph. you need to copy the game object hierarchy as well and all the animation-related stuff in the component settings

[rustic star]

anybody know why my raycast in VR is going through my graphical UI?

Ehi guys, to test my project I have to build everytime my game and than it starts in my VR. There is a way more faster to test it?

[tiny niche]

dont do a build and start it from within the editor

its still pretty slow though. takes 10-15 seconds usually even in a small scene

[distant basin]

I tried but nothing happen. I remember that one day worked as u said until I restarted the pc

[gilded wyvern]

Is there a way to force an interactable to be removed from the current interactor in the XR toolkit?

[acoustic lodge]

In the past I've called the SelectCancel method on XRInteractionManager to do that, but I've never been completely sure whether that's the right method to call or whether there's a higher level interface I should be using instead.

[gilded wyvern]

alright, thank you. I'm not actively testing yet, just looking for methods to do stuff

[tiny niche]

used to not be possible without modifying the source, but i think the SelectCancel has been added since then

Hello guys im new to VR world

I'm starting from ground up

anyone know what are the supported platforms for VR games/content?

what are some platforms that allow you to publish to them or do you create your own

is steam and oculus the only way to publish a game or something?

someone @desert plume me so I don't forget to see answer

[pine bison]

If you’re new to VR then there’s no point worrying about distribution yet. Just learn and get something working first. Then you can worry about how to distribute it

Steam and Oculus are indeed the biggest storefronts but there are other alternatives

[glad leaf]

what if I'm not trying to focus only games, what are the platforms that are supported?

[urban cloak]

Also, you're pinging another user when you do that @.

[glad leaf]

sorry.

[warm mica]

Ok I got a question would I be able to do object detection say on the oculus quest 2 with Unity. Like detect a guitar in the scene in mixed reality

[rancid warren]

Hello, I'm having an issue with Unity where it doesnt track the right hand oculus controller. I have an Oculus Rift S. Both controllers work in the Oculus lobby place, but in Unity the ray doesnt work for the right hand controller.

[fierce siren]

I need help, how do I get the world position of my user (Oculus quest) with the xr interaction toolkit? I want to offset the whole experience to be around my player when a scene load, discarding previous tracking. I know how to move the world, but I dont know which position to move it to. The XROrigin ? The camera offset? The controllers?

Thank you 🙂

[storm ether]

How do I make it so I could change the run device

[buoyant jolt]

It depends on your framework.

Ours supports Rift, Rift S, Vive, Index, WMR, Quest 1&2, Pico 3, Focus, Desktop nonVR, PSVR, WebGL, WebGL with VR, Mobile without VR, Cardboard, and some AR support - all in the same source code.

We personally don't support Apple, other game Consoles, Linux, or universal Windows apps. But you could add those if you want.

It's not as hard as it sounds though. A few plugins and a few case statements to switch your player stack.

[buoyant jolt]

I replied to this once but some bot deleted it. But you want the offset of the camera in reference to the origin. You need to move the origin, and offsetting the camera offset is the way to center it

[glad leaf]

@buoyant jolt what about other plaforms?

like PS, steam and etc....

this means you cant have one package/distribution for all?

[buoyant jolt]

Steam is Desktop, PS is PSVR.

However you are asking this in #🥽┃virtual-reality

[buoyant jolt]

We (my studio) supports PlayStation, Steam and Itch in our internal framework for both Unity and Unreal (where personally I prefer Unreal). But yes you can - for consoles such as sony you need a PS5 devkit, licensing etc. And that takes some cash and paperwork

[glad leaf]

so what I'm seeing then is VR isn't as connecting as they say then.

[buoyant jolt]

What makes you think that ?

like on some games its cross-platform.

I mean its like what if a game or an app

is on a different platform

how do they connect now?

like if an app on VR that is only unity-based.

I don't understand the question in relation to Unity development and cross platform development.

We literally use the same code base for a desktop game, mobile game, and VR without changing a line of code.

I will be honest I lack terms/knowledge in this field, but im just trying to start with planning before I dive deep into it.

yeh but I meant for other platforms, how can you acheive that? would hte same code work? you said you prefer unreal engine for example

would u have to re-implment it? from unity?

And that game runs on the Quest, Pico, and Focus (mobile VR headsets), PSVR (we only care about VR for consoles), Steam (for VR) and Oculus (for VR).

Our same games run on Desktop without VR, on the web and mobile without VR

Mmm - maybe I'll preface this by saying we are a larger studio than some, so we have our own templates and frameworks that make this much easier for us than what a person normally deals with.

We release about 8 to 12 VR experiences per month, for a large cross platform support. So we have special templates we made for Unity and Unreal to do that. Where although Unity works, Unreal is by far my preference and what I hope we move to 100% before the end of the year.

But yes, you use the same code. The technique is to build your own framework as an abstraction layer between it all to adapt to all the input types. It takes some experience. It isn't nearly as simple as it should be for how long all the platforms have been in place.

Also, it's always OK to ask questions :) just don't mind if it takes me a few tries to narrow down the question

ah nah perfect thank you so much, you broke it down for me and it clicked now. Its making much more sense now. Tbh I may go with Unreal engin as well because of blue print it makes it much easier.

Either way, share lots, I'd love to see what you end up making
