VR Expansion Plugin

[Warner_V (Warner)]

/**
* Sets the angle of the lever forcefully
* @param NewAngle The new angle to use, for single axis levers the sign of the angle will be used
* @param DualAxisForwardVector Only used with dual axis levers, you need to define the forward axis for the angle to apply too
*/
UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "VRLeverComponent")
void SetLeverAngle(float NewAngle, FVector DualAxisForwardVector)

It was a recent addition, think it was added in February.

Before that people were setting the angle manually and then calling Re-calculate lever angle.

Super, thanks… So I’ll update to a newer version then.

I’m using the VRExpansionPlugin in UnrealEngine 4. Steps I’ve taken

• Created a new “Default” level within the template project provided by the VRExpansionPlugin.
• Added a NavMeshBoundsVolume to the level.
• Deleted the existing “Player Start” and replaced it with the “VRPlayer Start”.

I would expect that when I “Play” the level I should be able to point at the ground and teleport around, but instead I just see the short blue teleport line that almost immediately cuts off.

I know that I am missing a step (probably only one) but I’m not sure what step I am missing. Also, I can’t find any documentation to help figure out what I am missing. So, with that said, what am I missing to enable teleport movement in my UE4 VRExpansionPlugin VR project?

Turns out the issue was that my NavMeshBounds was sitting directly on top of my floor (I placed it using the “end” key). To get it working again I had to move it into the floor a bit.

I wanted to post the solution to my problem in case anybody else was a newbie like me and ran into .

Been trying to make a method for a player to scale them selfs up or down (VR immersion aside) with the vive character class. while leaving the scale of the skeleton the same, that is attached to the root reference.
tried scaling the netsmoother but when grabbing objects the object inherits the netsmoother scale, and that method didnt seem rather elegant.
Anyone have a thought on how to achieve ?

? Change the world scale, it scales the tracking so everything else should remain as is.

im looking to scale the tracking only and leaving the skeletal mesh normal, but doing so means objects you grab inherit your reduced or increased scale

As in positional? Because it won’t actually effect “scale”, motion controllers are always 1.0f scaled. You can set a custom pivot component and attach it to the mesh and move it with it if you need too to “fake” the full scale and just skip the motion controllers actual relative.

It kind of sounds like you are looking more for a secondary camera though, like in the template during out of body locomotion. Which has some issues, because just “scaling down” or moving the perspective doesn’t actually “scale perspective”.

Hi, the rendering of BluePrint properties that appears in HUD doing reflect is a feature of your Plugin ???
how could I render the properties of my BluePrint on HUD?

Huh? As in a debug list?

Trying not to start up anything big right before 4.22 launch so I got around to fixing up the open input module more and finished the parent bone space setup.

Working a bit more on the open input module

wow those knuckles are nice,
Do you know how to correct a body IK hands to the correct positions when gripping a object? been trying using the two bone ik then transforming the hand bone using a bonespace offset, which works but clips the hand into the forearm

change the target location instead for the IK rather than post offsetting the bone.

Video going over setup of the open input module and linking to it.

Using the OpenInputModule

Might as well make the module public since there is a need currently.

having trouble getting my head around combing those 2 transforms. Do i need to turn the offset into worldspace and compose it to the worldspace of the objects socket?

Pretty sure that I saw Yurik reply directly to you about , even with a specific variable name, I am not entirely familiar with his IK system.

[mordentral]

Added a new game to the use cases: Out Of Ammo

It is an older title but recently scrapped its gripping system and merged in the plugins in its place, no idea if other parts are currently in use.

[mordentral]

Added a website where I will be moving a lot of the stuff from OP and filling out more complete tutorials and documentation.

https://vreue4.com

It should be a much more flexible interface for information.

I have a weird problem with example project. It works perfectly on VR Preview, but after packaging it works only on left eye. The only way to fix I found so far is to disable stereo rendering via console command (vr.bEnableStereo 0) and then enable it again. It appears only on project - basic VR project is working. It also doesn’t work only on my PC, tried on two others - works like a charm.

What headset are you using and what engine version? I saw someone run into that with one of their unrelated projects, I don’t remember what they did to fix it but it was a base engine issue.

Tried on UE 4.21 and 4.22. Testing on Dell Visor and Samsung Odyssey. It’s really weird since packaged project have troubles only on particular PC so far. It’s only minor problem (I don’t have to debug on machine, but it’s kinda annoying to work like ).

Oh…you are on the WMR native plugin right? Its not exactly production ready yet.
