Ok i need to request ur help pls^^ Im trying to integrate ur plugin into my custom 4.9.2 branch with nvidia flex branch ,however when trying to start it complains about wrong version an wants to recompile,after finishing that sucessful,it does show me the custom pawns and i can change to them,however nothing happens ingame, i did use a project with code (first person template) and i did delete the player actor ingame which normally made it work ,but still nothing:(

Edit: got it to compile and work even in my 4.10 branch with flex now ,the results are pretty amazing,going to upload an example once im finished joying around however theres another “issue” i want to apply a sword by adding a weapon socket to the echo hands but it doesnt worl the way it normaly does is there any info whats different compared to the normal version ,for reference i did use the sword tutorial on youtube and also applied line trace version of collision Still thank u so much for this plugin

Edit 2: i dont get an error,it just doesnt show up in hand

Edit 3: sry for so much questions >.< but hey heres another one : how can i get the echo collision hands to interact with the interface like here for example Get started with our plugins for XR developers - Ultraleap documentation ,also the same question but apllied to vr triggers ingame (a lightswitch for example),can i just use the collision hands then move a physics enabled actor mesh with it (the switch itself,without the casing) then check its position and fire of an event (turn on/off lightbulb)? and if yes could u maybe give some guiding cause i found this question a lot (hud and physics based trigger) but no answer that could guide me,thx in advance

You should be able to just attach the sword to a socket/bone. Use the wrist or palm bone. You can also go into the skeleton and create a separate socket parented to a bone and attach objects to there.

You can move any enabled physics actors. I haven’t had much experience with physics actor constraints (see Physics Constraint Component User Guide in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation) but there should be a way to implement this as you want it.

The other thing to consider is that collision hands are kinematic which means if you collide directly it may jitter when it’s trying to resolve impossible constraints (hand too deep into button/etc). So in order to build physics based UI I would recommend doing collision/overlap tests (i.e. change the button collision channel so the hand would normally overlap and not collide with it) and then build a basic restrained button manually. It will give you much finer control. See leap motion’s blog entry on widgets for guidance on how they did it.

Down the line I want to provide some UI widgets myself, but I’m not there yet and can’t guarantee that it would be ready before the jam ends.
