VR Expansion Plugin

[Magneto]

You have been complaining about the same things with every single template in engine for YEARS now. Maybe its time for you to buckle down and either really learn the engine, or start modding Alyx with their mod tools. Expecting everything to be plug and play fully complete, with brand new game features matching AAA and without any learning curve is moderately ridiculous, and rather entirely against the entire point of why I (and others with their tools) choose to make flexible systems where a lot of interactions are possible, instead of focusing on blindly recreating the FOTM game.

My goal isn’t to make your games for you, it is to provide you with as many tools as I can so that making them is easier. I stay away from specific game play systems as much as possible as its limiting my work to the specific few that need them, and locking down innovation. Plug and play game systems are generally terrible, either too feature rich to handle any case (slow) or handling only one or two specific cases that the creator felt was needed (inflexible and limited).

It’s because the whole point of these is to make basic game play easy and mostly ready to use otherwise it kind of defeats the point surely?

It’s been done successfully before like UVRF handpresence for example so why can’t you here? Sadly many templates are now unsupported with bugs and are showing their age. If instead of replying to a hundreds of questions you instead created some proper guides you might not have to waste time as you seem to with comments like these. Other contributors on the forum manage to just fine and you’ve had years.

I think I’ve been reasonable in both praising and criticizing particular plugin and am just giving some fair feedback. Really if at the end of the day if you’re so great at coding such complex features then it can’t be hard to make some easy ready made modes and switches for what we’re asking?

If getting an epic grant and supporting the vr community was your goal then that should include non programmers and artists as well to be fair.

I think you should hire a programer if you find it too difficult to code. The plugin itself is very good, it offers a lot of tools to help developers. You should stop complaining and focus on learning, because game development is really hard work. What’s more amazing when you have a free plugin, the plugin creator is always ready to answer questions and support, and you can go to the source code to read, to learn whenever you want.

Like others I’ve been giving some reasonable feedback and im not a programmer nor would i hire one for little projects. If you think that’s the answer then it’s more a criticism on the creator not the users.
