thanks for the solution, it is very difficult to find a solution using hinge joints, I think it is possible but there too many parameters and I didn't want to study the script
Hello, thanks for this tutorial, it works brilliantly. Although I have not been able to get an angle to use it as a steering wheel, maybe I miss an obvious thing ?
Line 73: I think you'd wanna use a "local up" instead of "transform.up", as the latter is world space and you're comparing it against a local vector - As it is, it'd start going wrong if your car went on slopes/upside down Also, you might want to flatten the vectors to remove the Z (or x or whatever) - As at the moment, I think it'll rotate even when you move your hand towards/away from yourself.
You're onto something! I originally had it with Vector3.up, but I considered the possibility of the car rolling over, so I changed it to transform.up. The initial idea was to be a valve wheel rather than a vehicle wheel. I double-checked some stuff in the scene, and it still seemed to work even when the wheel was at different orientations. So, it may have just been some dumb luck. However, I did change it to Vector2.up, since that inconsistency in world/local bothers me. For the flattening of the vector, since the point is local, it's the z-value for hand depth that we want to ignore. Which I leave off when the hand position is converted to a local point.
HELLO Bro! I NEED HELP: When I try to run my unity vr project, the object SHADER is visible in one eye and not in the other. HOW CAN I FIX THIS? PLEASE HELP
Hi! Thanks for the awesome video! I only have 2 things to say: 1. Only the ray interactor works, the direct interactor simply won't work for some reasons(I'm using Unity Mock HMD). 2. When selecting the wheel using Ray and moving it in linear motion, it's fine. But when moving it in 1 full cycle (circular motion), the rotation is kinda weird, it first rotated and then suddenly pulled back when the total angle past 180 degree. Thank you!
@@r8teful Which game object specifically do you put the rigidbody on? It seems that wherever I put it I still can't spin the wheel and it just falls to the floor.
Not really, as long as your interactable has a collider, it should be fine. However, this does inherit from the BaseInteractable, not the GtabInteractable, so it doesn't allow you to grab and move it around. It just allows you to select the object, and the code takes care of the rest.
I can only get this to work with a Ray Interactor on my XR controller and can not, for the life of me, get it to work with a Direct Interactor. It works if I put a normal Grab Interactable script on the steering wheel but then I can't have a custom behavior like this on it. Do you have any clue why this could be? Nice video btw, I like that it is clean and to the point, but for a beginner like me it is still all a bit to confusing and fast hahah.

Your use of visual gizmos to explain tricky concepts is unparalleled.
Much appreciated, Aaron!

Hi thanks for this, it appears to use the RayInteractable, is it possible to use it with Direct Interactor?
Thanks man. Straight to the point and useful.

agreed straight to the point and supper useful thank you
this method return a laggy wheel when grabbed, and return the position of the hand when grabbing not the actual rotating position of the wheel
Thank you! Been looking for something like this.
Hopefully you find it useful!
@@VRwithAndrew I will! Bike handle-bars next? Please and thank you. Although I guess it's the same principle.
@@Arashi256 Not exactly, but I have done something similar to handlebars that uses direction rather than rotation.
@@VRwithAndrew Cool, I'd be well up for a tutorial on that 👍
What components are on your primitive shapes? Are they each XR grab interactables?
They're just primitives, the only interactable used is the Steering Wheel interactable itself.

This is soooo helpful, thank you so much!!
nice wheel but implementing this onto a car with driving movements and all is pretty hard , mind making a video on it?
Not at the moment, the real goal was just share this code with everyone.

You need a rigid body on the wheel for it to work with the direct interactor! I had the same problem
@@r8teful Which game object specifically do you put the rigidbody on? It seems that wherever I put it I still can't spin the wheel and it just falls to the floor.
Thank you for this video!!!!!! :D
You're so welcome!
Hey! When i try to implement this on one of my game objects I am not able to grab it, am I missing something collider wise? or an event?
Not really, as long as your interactable has a collider, it should be fine. However, this does inherit from the BaseInteractable, not the GtabInteractable, so it doesn't allow you to grab and move it around. It just allows you to select the object, and the code takes care of the rest.
@@VRwithAndrew its alright man i was able to figure it out thanks, do we have anything thing like a slider?
@@vikramsindhu5901 Kinda, the functionality that makes the Bow and Arrow work is the same functionality for a slider.
@@VRwithAndrew yes thats right i think that thing can easily be used I'll look it up

Okey I fixed it, just had to have a rigid body to the wheel (:
