Hi guys,
Does anyone know why this no longer works, or is this component in a new place in that Unreal version?
Need it for oculus in VR.

You don’t need Steam VR for working with the Oculus Rift, you can directly use the OculusVR plugin for that. To get the position and orientation of your virtual hands, you can just get position and orientation of the Motion Controller components.

But i need their position in real life so to say.

You don’t need their position in real-life, you need their position in UE world coordinates. This is exactly what you get if you use GetWorldLocation on the Motion Controller components.

How do I get Motion Controller Component running for multiplayer?
It was much easier with GetHandPositionAndOrientation.
