Problem 1)
After getting to step 10 of the Use the Gear VR Touchpad buttons (https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/GearVR/HowTo/MCTouchPadButtons/index.html), i am unable to find the GearVRController nor the Get Motion Controller nodes, although i am able to find the AttachToComponent and Face Button Pressed nodes- what am i doing wrong? Or are these nodes excluded from ue_4.18? (the first attached picture is of my event graph layout with the problem)
update problem 2 was fixed, it was caused by me either enabling Substance plugin, and/or google vr controler plugin, but i shall leave the screenshots of the error log just in case it helps anyone.
That documentation is out of date a bit - especially that blueprint image. All you need to do is replace those two nodes with your “MotionController” component. It will be the parent that you attach the button pressed text to.
Clear instructions - drag your “MotionController” component onto the blueprint - drag it’s output into the parent input of the “attachToComponent”
Thanks Aussieburger, it still did not end up working (the only button that did change the displayed text was the back button, to “faceButton1”) even after making the suggested changes.
i instead have the x-y input displayed, all copied from the documentation… I really wish they would update and include steps that are missing. but what do i know im just a peasant graduate trying to use an engine that’s cornered the gaming market.
just wanted to update this post: all of aussieburgers info was correct, what I needed to change was the " MotionController (R) face button 1" etc, to the “MotionController(R) thumbstick1,2 etc” to get the text feedback. So yeah, smiles for miles :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
