I found a fix for the ‘VR Editor Blueprint Window Zooming problem with Oculus Rift’ Here is what I did:
I have a pair of Razer Hydra’s (which I bought cheap on eBay, to use with my soon-to-ship VALVE: Index, I couldn’t afford the controllers,…)
I think the fix might work WITHOUT the Razer Hydras, but I wanted to mention it,…
First I downloaded ‘Motion Creator 2’ from Sixense, (note: I downloaded from there just 2 weeks ago, BUT: the links to their downloads page no longer work! I think they saw me postig about using their device with INDEX and decided to pull the drivers and work on their wireless controllers again (there is a lower price option gap to be filled clearly) anyways here are all their drivers, the SDK, the old ‘driver’ and the new ‘Motion Creator 2’ that connects with the Steam VR Plugin…
IThen I remember going into Steam and installing the Razer Hydra driver (rebooting occasionally etc)
and I think the most important part is this: in Unreal I checked the Hydra OSVR Plugin, and the Steam VR Plugin but NOT THE OCULUS!
This way, in VR Editor touch shows up as VIVE WANDS and the ‘trackpad’ (actually the Touch Thumbstick) works beautifully zooming in and out! SO i figure like this: If I am doing most normal things in VR Editor, I can do it with just the Oculus (and no Steam VR) program running, if I want to work on a Blueprint etc in VR Editor, I simply (LOL) load Steam VR and Motion Creator 2 before going in to VR mode,. It is not very well behaved now, but I hope, when I have my Valve Index, if I do VR Mode at 80hz (and without ANY OCULUS STUFF ON MY SYSTEM!) that then STEAM VR will be much better behaved and editing in VR, WORKING (while) IN VR will become a daily thing for me.
OR I can switch back to UNITY now that they are adding a BLUEPRINT Visual Scripting System, I remember the Editor VR being a LOT MORE FUN in Unity, no Clicking on an object TWICE to ‘pick it up to move it, move it;’ you just reach out like normal and pick up anything and put it anywhere naturally,.
PEACE!!!
