Oculus Rift Templates - Xbox Controller - nolonger working
ok, so if you watch the above video and can get that to work i have one more goodie you can use. This will give you forward and backward direction based on head tracking.
You will need to add a custom flow node however.
1. open up script/global.script_flow_nodes
2. add this block of text below the last } (close curly bracket) but before the last ] (close hard bracket)
{
name = "Rotate Vector"
args = {
vector_in = "vector3"
rotation = "quaternion"
}
returns = {
vector_out = "vector3"
}
query = false
function = "ProjectFlowCallbacks.rotate_vector"
category = "Project/Math"
}
3. Save and close the script file.
4. Now you need to open up script/lua/flow_callbacks.lua
5. Paste the following block of text after the last "end" statement. Basically at the very bottom of the file.
function my_scripts.rotate_vector(t)
t.vector_out = stingray.Quaternion.rotate(t.rotation, t.vector_in)
return t
end
6. save and close the script file.
7. Press F5 to ensure everything gets loaded.
Now assuming you followed the video posted above, you just need to add the rotation node you just created to the beginning of the flow sequence like this. You will also need the HMD Pose node from either the Steam or the Oculus node list.
8. In level flow, right click and select Project > Rotate Vector
9. In Level Flow, rigth click and select SteamVR > SteamVR HMD Pose
Connect them to your existing Flow like this (assuming you followed my tutorial above)
Please note the way the out from the tumbstick is now connected all the way through to the end of the graph. This is vastly more efficient.
This is the identical functionality to the original Oculus Template.

Thank you very much for those tutorials Paul, they have been most helpful! My question now is how can I tie this to a unit in my scene with a mover? I've been doing a bit of playing around and it seems like the method you've worked on will always start the player at 0,0,0? I want to be able to have the headset essentially a child of a unit, and for the controls to drive this unit. I've pretty much got it working, but that's using the output of your flow to set the mover's position. Ideally I want to be able to plug this into a 'move mover' so therefore i'll be able to get collisions and gravity etc. I don't know much about how lua works with collisions and gravity, and that's the reason I want to use a unit to drive the headset.
Here's my unit flow, to show you what I currently have:
Are you using HTC vive or oculus? I'm using oculus and if you open up the oculus_vr.lua file, there is a section called 'create vr controllers' around line 60. Just comment these out by putting a -- in front of the line.
I've got the right thumbstick to work with rotation but as I've stated above I'm doing it slightly differently in that my headset is being set by a unit's position. Here's my unit flow, hopefully it'll get you in the right direction.
I too discovered the blurring effect, and this was because I have screen space reflections and screen space ambient occlusion turned on in the level's shading environment. Turning these off fixed it for me.
Thanks guys.
I've started setting up a VR level using the unit flow that tbuchan posted. However, I am having an issue with updating the unit location. The Oculus left thumbstick moves the camera and the mover of the unit, but it does not move the unit itself. I used Paul Kind's Super Debugger to read the coordinates for the Mover, the Unit, & the HMD. The Mover and the HMD move in lockstep. However, the Unit coordinates do not change. I am using a cube primitive as the unit that my HMD is linked to. The cube came with a physics actor already and I have tried changing it to keyframed and dynamic. I have also tried changing the mover from default to character. The Unit always stays in place.
It may be related to this problem, but I cannot get collisions to work either. Even though the mover moves, I walk right through walls that have static physics actors.
Well, I was able to get the unit to move by adding a "Set Unit Local Position" node at the end. See below. However, it still doesn't rotate with the HMD. I am not sure if I can and or need to get the mover and unit to rotate when I push the right thumbstick. I can't find a flow node for getting or setting the Mover rotation like I can for position. I still don't have collisions working either.
Guys, we solved the rotate problem. We need to do a modification on the "Rotata Vector" script, one mistake. After we only conected the level Update to te funtion In of Rotate Vector and work!. After we change the Oculus HDM Pose to Oculus Controller Pose, and then when you point the controller for any side the axis update, I think that way is more real.
Thaks for the help!
