Hello!
I have my blueprint where i trigger a door to open when i intersect a triggervolume, no animation is used only a bp rotation of the door.
what i would like to do is to make the door a physical object with a hinge restraint actor (so that it behaves like a real door) and add a doorhandle on the door that i can grab with the motioncontroller in VR and when picked up it will make the door physical but with a hinge.
I tried different approaches but i just simply dont have enough knowledge of blueprints to make it work…
so are there any ideas/suggestions on how i could implement such a feature in my VR vizualisations??
The component you want is a Physics Constraint Component, which can act as a hinge between two other components. That will make the door swing on a physics hinge. To be able to move the door with a motion controller: when you grab the door, stop the door from simulating physics and use some vector math to calculate where you want the door to move, based on the motion controller’s position, and the pivot of the door. Then when you let go of the door, set the door to simulate physics again, and it should swing.
Hey! Sorry guys, I was looking in to how to release a plugin for sale, since I’ve never done it, and then I became busy with other projects. It’s nice to know that it’s desired though. I’ll see what I can do.
