[VIVE] Need Help on using physics thrusters to make a vr actor fly

If you are trying to make a flying Pawn, I would simply derive it from Default Pawn which has a flying movement component useful for the purpose. With that, you can apply any sort of movement to it, including a "thrust" in a defined direction.

This is a very good series of tutorials to learn how this can be done: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...23W5Ra9kbzbIhq

The use of a Physics Thruster component requires your Pawn to have physics enabled and also a defined mass, which may not be your case.

Cheers,
Marco.

Out of curiosity, do you have any changes when you override global gravity set to 0?

[_SuperSteel]

Setting gravity to zero does not do anything as for using a default pawn i will try that next time I have a chance.

Is the root node of your pawn a mesh? That might help

[_SuperSteel]

How can I set the root node to be a mesh rather than a capsule?

[vr_marco]

If you drag & drop a child element in the hierarchy on top of the root node, you will be presented with the option to make that element the root node.
