Re: WASD Keyboard control in VR (oculus)

Anonymous · ‎04-26-2017

Hi all.

Im all new to Stingray, im trying to make a Architectural VR tour, but i cant figure how to make a WASD keyboard control when using the Oculus VR template, im runing an old DK2 kit, so i dont have any controllers.

i have tried to add a Flow Script to the Player start object, but i does not work for me

Used this one : https://youtu.be/EqNR0fGONSY?list=PLcy-u-vkV4_dezNdtfVUkkx28BSy5MrHw&t=758

best regards

Are you updating the tracking space of the oculus to move with the unit?

Depending on if you're moving the unit or mover, use a 'get unit local position' or 'get mover position' node and hook the position up to a 'set oculus tracking space' node on level update.

@Anonymous Thanks for the reply

i cant figure.... do i have to do that in the level flow editor, or in the unit flow editor for the Player_start unit.

Best regards

You'll do it in the same unit flow of which unit it was that you added the WASD keys in.

Have you started from the oculus template?

Okay, which unit are you creating this flow in?

Can you post your flow as it is now?

I made this tutorial a while back. It covers using an xbox controller, but, you should be able to easily adapt it to your keyboard movement.

Part 2 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrJGc3ZkZLg&t=2s

If you understand how to work with the XBox controller, you will certainly be able to apply it to your keyboard.

Haven't looked at everything fully but first glance it looks like your oculus set tracking space needs something plugged into its grey 'in' part to execute the node.

Try adding a level update node into that and see what happens 🙂

Also i'm not too sure if it actually has much effect, but set the move unit and rotate unit nodes to 'my unit' in the green unit input.
