Oculus Touch Thumbstick...Only axis mappings work?

[Rharli]

@vr_marco

Yes there is. You can easily turn an axis control into an action-like control just by checking whether its output value, which is mapped to the -1.0 –> 1.0 range is, say, > 0.5 (for right or down) or < -0.5 (for left or up). Make the threshold level variable so you can adjust it as needed, but 0.5 means the stick has been moved half a way or more, so it should do the job.

I just implemented something similar to discretely control an up/down movement and it works exactly as an action. If you like you can also create your own custom input event with this logic and trigger them as needed.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Hi Marco,

This is exactly what I have been trying to do but I still can’t get it right. Anyway you could post a blueprint image?

Groovy’s solution doesn’t seem to work in UE4.24 … any ideas in how to make this work again?

I assigned the Input of the oculus touch to my own ones. “MotionController Left ThumbStick Right” is “Oculus Touch(L) ThumbStick Right”, for the others the same.

This makes it that whatever you wanna execute shoot only once and waits for your InputAxis value to turn “under 0.5” until it does it again. Just tested it with my oculus rift s and it worked fine.

I have no clue what ThumbStick X and Y are supposed to do though, since we have left/right, up/down. Deprecated maybe?
