Toggle floor level?

Neil_Cross — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 15:32:54 GMT

Is there any way to have two toggled floor levels whilst in VR mode?

My scene is too data heavy to disable "Teleport Ground". So I want to be able to bring people up to a high point in the scene, and let them freely teleport around at that fixed height like it's a new ground level.

Then when they enable the next viewpoint, that sets the ground level... I guess the question is "can you set a new ground level when you activate a viewpoint?"

Cheers!

Hi Neil,

reading your post I made myself a (maybe stupid) question... “... where is the ground? Which object is intended to be the ground?“ I really don’t know... I suppose the bottom plane of the dome, or the shadow plane...

Supposing there is only one Ground, I don’t know if it is possible to change his position.

but a workaround could be to set your entire model or “unselectable”, create some transparent planes as walking planes.

in Vred option activate the option “select 100% transparent objects”.

Then activate also the teleport on object.

I think that the unselectable model prevent the user to go on it, and the transparent planes to be used as fake ground.

Hope this could help you.

Best

Chris

Hi Neil,

I don´t have an HMD right now and can´t test it but there is a command in the API to set the ground teleport height.

vrImmersiveInteractionService.setTeleportGroundHeight(20000)

This should move the floor you can teleport on up by 2 meters. If you now combine this in a VariantSet with a Viewpoint than this could actually work. Maybe in combination with multiple spheres you place in your scene that have touchsensor´s to laserpoint on and trigger the VSet´s (Viewpoint+PythonScript).

Cheers

Pascal

Cheers guys I'll try both of those suggestions. The license we have at work is Vred Design so I'm not sure how much I can do yet with that script line but I'll look into it.

You should be able to create a new Camera and Viewpoint, set the Viewing height coordinate to what you want (3000 for 3m high), and check the Use Camera Height as VR Ground Plane box in the VR section in the Advanced tab. Make sure this is checked for both the Camera and the Viewpoint. Then you should be able to teleport around with that height as your floor height.
