Hey , i have been trying to get traditional locomotion to work with room scale. The problem i have had is that collision can only happen in the center of the play space which is obviously not going to work. What i want is for the collision capsule to move with the player as they walk around their space.

I have failed to find a solution and i am wondering if you have any solutions?

Currently i am just using capsule casts and teleporting the player tiny distances to fake traditional locomotion. This way works but doesn’t allow for actual physical collision, and you cant slide along walls.

Thanks

Umm their are a few possibilities, I haven’t implemented it personally but if you attach a collision component to the camera it should stop people artificially walking into walls, but I don’t believe it would stop them from the positional tracking colliding with the environment. I believe the Steam VR Expansion plugin on the forum has a FPS style control that does collision, so you could check that out.

Hi ,

What’s the correct way to create a regular rotating door you can grab by the handle and push/pull to open/close?

I tried two different ways of adapting your VR Examples.

First I tried to use the lever example. When I pull the trigger the door snaps to the max open position.

Then when I try to grab the handle to pull the door back to close it it keeps pulling back to max open position and then animating back just a little… by ResetRotation I set up in the timeline.

This does not seem to be the right way to go about it anyways since I only want to door to move like the sliding drawer does…only when you are trying to move it while grabbing the handle.

The 2nd way I tried was to try and alter the sliding drawer example.

Here too the door just suddenly snaps to max open position when I try to use the trigger to push the handle.

When I try to close the door it just rotates slightly and just gets stuck there.

What am I doing wrong?

Um the second approach won’t work, just because you’re trying to put a relative space location into a Rotator so there’s no real connection there. The first approach is on track but you will need to put the X and Y in to the atan2, as that allows you to base your rotation off of the forward and right axis and not the up and forward axis like is done in the lever (I would suggest you have a look into atan2 if you haven’t seen it before). Anywho if you’re still having problems let me know (I do explain the how to make a lever in detail in my upcoming book) I’m in the middle of exams though so my answers may not be extremely detailed, sorry.
