Not to sound overly dramatic or anything, but this video has changed my life! In terms of game dev anyway, lol. After recently playing a new VR game, I have been inspired to work on my new project in VR, and after trying to find some tutorials I found a long list of example tutorials, but they seem to be setup in a way where it's overly complicated, and they break simple things into like 6 different functions... This video has given me an amazing understanding of movement in VR, thank you very much!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial!! I was pulling my hair out for hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my code. I was so close because I could get movement on button press, but no sustained movement! I guess I needed the Floating Pawn Movement component and the Add Movement Input function. Thank you so much!!!
AWESOME TUTORIAL !!!! Finally i got continuous movement to work in VR. But before I tried with Unity. I think its clear UE4 is my new Nr.1 engine. Intuitive, Great UI and functionality i did not dare to dream of, visual programming, every corner with tutorial buttons and great youtube videos - its a dream :) A senseful structure of all, easy button/input mapping for different hardware (! for example Vive Cosmos!)... - They did everything right :)
THANK YOU!!!! Why the put that braindead teleportation option in instead of an ACTUALLY USEFUL movement mechanic is far beyond my smoothbrain comprehension.
When Lisa Simpson asked Bart, that 'Zen' if a Tree falls in the woods and no one is there' question, (and he goes into mind blown enlightmentment mode), that's how I felt when he switched InputAxis nodes and I said out loud, "OH! OH WOW!" Suddenly realizing the link with the input panel and the MODULARITY of Blueprints and Nodes especially! That's two EPIPHANIES in one video... I better subscribe I guess!
lol I've been looking for how to make a smooth rotation because EVERYONE is going for 45* angle snap rotations. I see why it's nauseating, but for my game it's required. I fixed the nausea with it just being a lot slower. (Fits the game very well) Thanks a lot !
Thanks a lot for this. What I need is like a tank movement (left stick up, right stick down, to rotate right and vice verses) but I guess I can figure it out from this template.
Not to nit-pick but i believe you made a mistake, the last branch in the snap turning graph, its false node should got to the "do once" reset. otherwise you have to take your finger off the thumbstick every time you want to turn 45 degrees. this makes it so you can turn over and over quickly every time you hit left or right
This solved an issue I was having on 4.26.1 thanks for the tip! When I went to turn again after turning once it wouldn't reset. Not sure if this is something with the mappings not setting back to perfect 0 or what... either way... thanks lol!
Excellent tutorial. Best one so far.... One problem I'm having comes from setting up player start in a map with an uneven terrain. For uneven terrains, the pawn motion seems to be locked in terms of z axis transform by default. therefore when you use motion controll to move arround the area, you can't actually travel allong the hills. I tried fixing this by adding a capsule collider, and adding physics, but what seems to happen is that with no other settings, the capsule doesn't stay ballance, and the player ends up rolling to the ground like a tin can. I tried fixing THAT by changing the contraints of the rotation to x and y. BUUUUT when I did that, and tried to move my pawn through the level, it ended up having these wierd bugs where the pawn would start rotating, and when I try to use the Gripping motion, it would impulse the character into the air and twirl it arround (I'm going to be blowing some chunks in a moment). How would you approach making the pawn stay upright and able to simuate gravity on an uneven landscape, and free of those impulases?
That derp moment when you realise you have spent an hour wracking you brain as to why its not working, only to realise you have set it to only allow movement when movement is 0... :'(
Thanks so very much for the wonderful tutorial, I'm planning on making a fairly complex project, not sure if it'll turn into a game, or just be left as a private WIP, but I have a few concepts in mind, and lots of time on my hands. I want to create something that can only truly be experienced in VR, it will be hard, but I'm a patient individual.
OMG! this tutorial saved my day, have been dying to figure out the engine input to map my windows mixed reality controllers ! thanks a ton man. +1 subscribed !
Great tutorial. Best one ive seen so far. Only one problem which is my character is moving very slowly when I am not touching the joystick. Has anyone ever experienced this.
Hi, thanks for the kind words :) As for your issue, you can try adding a Print String node at your axis events and plugging the Axis Value into the Print String input. This will display the axis value of your joystick on screen when the game is running, which should be 0.0 if you're not touching the joystick. If it's showing a value above (or below) 0.0, you might have a loose joystick or some other hardware issue. Let me know how it goes, though! Im happy to help work through this :)
Is there a video before describing how to set up the VR? because I see in the left oanel you have VROrign which I don't know what that mean. I follow the steps you did but I couldn't move. I would use Unreal starter but it was glitchy with me because it kept teleporting but once I deleted those functions I still kept moving everywhere so I decided to start from scratch. Appreciate the help.
i wondered how the skyrim vr guys managed to make traversal without nausea, on movement they seem to create a vignette tunnel so your peripheral vision is narrowed, not sure if they allowed rotation at the same time as traversing
If you want that vignette effect you can add a post process volume to your pawn and enable/disable it when you're moving/not moving. Increasing your cameras FOV while moving also helps to cut down on nausea since theres less motion in the center of your vision
@@underscore00 Thank you for the tutorial! Wish there were more VR tutorials around. The post process idea works great when moving fast (sprinting) however imo the FOV change is a little jarring (probably because I don't know what I'm doing). Do you have any examples of FOV changing that works well?
Double click to get a reroute! I didn`t know that.. cool. Gosh,, I learn so much more like this than in all the expensive UE4 books I buy,... I love how you/he steps through the LOGIC, and simplifies it to hitting a Plus key or a MULTIPLY (a * _not_ an x LOLOL) and the whole, PARADIGM of Blueprints is thusly, suddenly laid before one like a golden brick road! PARADIGM SHIFT sort of thing,... I 'get' (ken) Blueprints more after this short video, than after re-reading entire books about the subject... I DO things in the books way,.. I UNDERSTAND things when it goes in... 'stream of thought' mode like this, it feels like Reverse Engineering, the way I as an Artist, learn best and fastest,. Taking it all in and understanding through the 'interconnected extant context'... or something like that... Wow, 14k subscribers! There are a lot of UE4 interested ppl! I only have about 3k subs at my VR work channel ( th-cam.com/users/NextWorldVR ) I am a Hollywood Character Animator, making a high end VR game. It is so hard to find anyone to work with these days, I finally decided to just learn the engine myself. AND I DISCOVERED A HOLODECK (I can work In VR using UE4 VR Editor) Unreal is amazing, I wish I had discovered it eariler. I havecworked in 3ds Max, since it was 3D Studio for DOS but only started with unreal 3 years ago. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP FAMOUS UE4 TEACHING PERSON! :O :)
This is a great tutorial but I'm not sure if UE4.26 changed something because now when I try to make the rotation on the x axis with the right stick, it will not work, no matter if i preview in VR or if I build it to my headset (Oculus Quest 2 User/Developer).
If anyone is still using this, I just solved a problem with the current script structure that I had when trying to run it for a VR machinima I'm currently making for my university class. The problem was that the controllers would slightly move forward and upward in position from where the player started, and the rotation snaps would not work. This was caused by the {==} to clarify the deadzone as {0}. My HMD and controllers are the samsung oddyssey +, and either due to how the software works to run it or due to the controllers themselves being warped, would never send out a straight {0} to be read by unreal. This caused the lack of turning (due to the snap rotation style seen in the video) and the constant moving forward. To fix this simply replace the {==} function to a {Nearly equal (float)} and have the error tolerance be equal to the inputs that the program is reading, for me it stopped at {Error Tolerance (0.15)} while keeping {B} to {0}. I suggest doing this even if you don't neccessarily need to do it for your headset as other people may have the same problem if pushed out to market and or online.
bro you saved me using odyssey plus too was having the same problem the problem is now the it still moves a little bit not too noticeable but it still does how to set the tolerance value do i increase it or decrease it
First, great Tutorial man, It is hard to find good UE4 VR Tutorials. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I do have a question involving this method. To find the move speed you multiply the input axis by a number. This is what allows for acceleration, but acceleration can be disorienting. Would it be better to just use a linear constant for movement, in order to avoid VR Sickness from acceleration(i.e. if inputValue >=0.05 set speed to 4)? I've been told to avoid acceleration in VR, but I don't have the experience to know if that includes the acceleration players have control over, or if movement and rotation should be treated differently in this aspect.
Thanks for the tutorial, I'm new and I learned a lot. One thing I noticed is that the rotation seems to ignore room scale, so if you move around your physical room, instead of rotating the center of the VR Headset's HMD camera, it rotates at the center of the room causing your whole body to pivot if you are not standing in the center of your room. I have no idea how to fix it, very disorientating.
Yes, this is a limitation of the method shown in the video. I just asked an old client of mine if I could share some work, because ive made a VR rotation event that rotates around the head/camera instead of the pawn's origin point, and thankfully he said yes :) i.imgur.com/ZyfSAHq.jpg That should put you on the right track. I used a rotation component (set to 0) instead of simply rotating the player actor. If the boolean 'Smooth Rotate' is set to true, the view wont snap to a rotation value, instead it will smoothly rotate in the direction youre holding the joystick. The bit that answers your question though is the 'Pivot Transform' Set vector. The rotating movement component has a built-in vector location that it rotates around, and the calculation I made there changes it to the head location instead of the actor's origin point. EDIT: Forgot to mention, you can add a rotating movement component to your pawn with the green 'Add Component' button at the top of the component panel (top left by default) I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions :)
@@underscore00 Unfortunately not. I tried to decipher what you gave me, and I couldn't replicate it. I'm too new on blueprints, I've also never programmed. I think I need to go back and study some fundamentals. Right now I'm just reverse engineering everything in my head from examples you provided without any core knowledge. I do understand a lot of what you did, so the tutorial was great, I even understand some of what you were doing in the diagram you provided me. At this point I don't even know the right questions to ask for you to help me lol. Thanks, I do appreciate it.
@@underscore00 I will come back to this later on, right now I'm taking some online courses on Blueprints starting with the very basics. I will then hopefully be able to replicate your diagram and let you know. Thanks again!
I'll definitely be expanding on this in the future (if I'm allowed, my actual job is in VR development) but in the meantime theres a comment elsewhere on this video with a link to another tutorial that shows how to set up collision :)
for some reason once i have it ready to test it the first time, my head is spawned 10 ft up and 10 ft to the left when i spawn in to test the locomotion. Please help
Well, I couldn't get it to work. Forward goes backwards and the Snap turn doesn't work at all! (I look and look I can not see a single difference between yours and mine. Why do they never offer the actual sample code so you can ACTUALLY check? Maybe this is incompatible with 4.18 (I have need to go back to it for a project, it is hell).. Any help greatly appreciated.
Very useful tutorial thank you so much.But I have a question please when I try go forward the movement start but we can not stop my hands .I mean my hands are still going forward despite of not using my joysticks.Do have any idea about that issue.And thank you so much!!
Great tutorial i got it working fine with the vr template but I tried doing this with a blank project of my own and for some reason none of the motion controller inputs were selectable or even on the list when trying to setup my axis mappings in project settings ?? Any idea why the hell this as is its driving me crazy!! And I cant move forward....Thank you
If I wanted to make the player rotate multiple times if they're holding the joystick, how would I do that? How I have it set up now is like it is in the video, if they hold it then they turn, but I also want it to be if they hold it for another like .5 seconds they'd turn again, and another half a second would turn as well, and so on. What nodes would I have to add/edit to make that possible? Looking for advice from underscore or anyone else that thinks they know. Thanks in advance. Great video by the way!
This is exactly what I needed. Is there any way to debug Blueprints when previewing in VR? The Unreal GUI disappears when starting the VR preview so I can't see what's going on in real time.
Not sure if you still need help, but the collision of the object is pushing back against your character. You need to create some sort of exception to have your character ignore collision of your hands/the object whilst holding it
At 7:32 when I try to connect the addition node to "New Transform Rotation" I get this error: ""Float is not compatible with rotator". Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I added movement to vr in unreal on my own, but when I'm running past objects, the textures/object seems to tear really ugly, almost like a motion blur/texture vibration as I run past it. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for the tutorial, I wanted to ask, when I test it in my oculus quests connected by the oculus link, the rotation works perfectly, but when I install it in the quests it doesn't. Would you know why?
Playing around with this in unreal 4.26.2 and I can only move in the direction the headset is looking, not independently. Using quest 2. Anyone have an idea why?
Very helpful tutorial & thanks for sharing. I am trying to make a simple AI character chase the VR Pawn but instead of chasing me he goes to the 0 of the world location, any idea how I can get this to work?
Im not sure why but this only works if i create a new player blueprint. It doesnt work from the motion controller blueprint included with the vr template. Can anyone help me? I’m on 4.25
Wouldn't it be better to check that x/y values are close to zero as opposed to exactly zero? Since we probably don't want to trigger if the value is 0.00000001
Hello, everything works fine but for some reason when i use the right thumbstick it only snaps the view once and then that is it and wont reset, i have double checked all my connections , any info would be greatly appreciated :) Great tutorial !
I know exactly what you mean. Marco G. has a great video not only giving you the fix but explaining why it happens: th-cam.com/video/1rQvPnKvlfk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MarcoGhislanzoni
Hi. Thanks for this useful tutorial. How may I increase the speed of my character? Right now, the add movement input only has a normalized scale so any number bigger than 1 is floored.
Hmmm thats interesting. If you crank up your movement speed variable, does anything change or do you hit a speed limit? Ill test this for myself to be sure and get back to you :)
@@underscore00 I turned up maximum walk speed from 600 to 1000, then 3000, 4000 and it made no difference. the Movement speed variable you use multiplies the axis value (-1 to 1) by a float which then gets floored down to -1 or 1 by the add movement input node. I tried adjusting for this by increasing the maximum walk speed and then using .25, .6, 1.0 for the movement speed value but it had no effect as well.
At my current job I use Oculus Rift, Vive and Odyssey Pro and I can tell you that Odyssey Pro is easily best of those 3. Personally I got a Rift S shortly after they released it and it's amazing :) as a recommendation though, you might as well get a Quest for cordless gaming and if you dont have a beast PC. If you have a beast PC though, Rift S is the best bang for buck.
@@underscore00 I use a Odyssey + as well, and its really great with its AMOLED Display the colors just pop, not to mention the Anti-Screen Door effect film which makes it almost impossible to notice any Screen Door Effect, and if your PC is strong enough to handle at least 200% Super Sampling of the native headset resolution, then it's a no brainer as long as you get it close to $300 For me, its the best headset I can currently get that'll be compatible with my setup, as I don't have any VR Compatible Computers with a Display Port (I'm currently playing on a Laptop) If I would upgrade, I'd rather go all the way to the Valve Index, as long as Valve works out the manufacturing issues people have been reporting, though I'm sure an upgrade like that won't be for awhile as I need a DP PC.
Hey! What kind of VR headset are you using in this tutorial? There are no options for "Motion controller" in the Inputs in project settings for me. I followed the tutorial and it's as if it's not affecting anything at all. I'm using an Oculus Rift S.
I just finished and it didn't work I realized under motion controls it says redacted so I went under oculus touch and replaced all of them so under motion controller left thumb x i added oculus touch left thumb x and the same for the others i will test tomorrow to see if that's the fix
I also used an oculus rift S for this tutorial. Weird. Have you tried checking your project settings under input for the axis mappings? That might be where you need to set the controllers, but i just piggy-backed off the built-in VR controller. Definitely hit me up if youre still running into trouble, im more than happy to help :)
I know this is a silly question, but I'm new to Unreal Engine 4; is there any way I can prevent my hands from clipping into things? Let's say through the ground or a table. I want them to be a physics type item with collisions, but I can't seem to do it by myself. Anyone know how to?
Maybe this can help you: "Lets Create Physical Animations" by Matthew Palaje, a problem with this approach is that your player gets a strange feeling of 'out your body' experience, BONEWORKS is an excellent example with reports of the body being trapped inside physics puzzles
hmmm why is my vr template world different? theres no hands, and the level is different. i wonder if they changed that over the 2 years since this video release. where can i find this template?

Yes, this is a limitation of the method shown in the video. I just asked an old client of mine if I could share some work, because ive made a VR rotation event that rotates around the head/camera instead of the pawn's origin point, and thankfully he said yes :)

That should put you on the right track. I used a rotation component (set to 0) instead of simply rotating the player actor. If the boolean 'Smooth Rotate' is set to true, the view wont snap to a rotation value, instead it will smoothly rotate in the direction youre holding the joystick. The bit that answers your question though is the 'Pivot Transform' Set vector. The rotating movement component has a built-in vector location that it rotates around, and the calculation I made there changes it to the head location instead of the actor's origin point.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, you can add a rotating movement component to your pawn with the green 'Add Component' button at the top of the component panel (top left by default)
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions :)
@@underscore00 Dude, you are freakin awesome, thank you so much.
@@nolomite3921 Hey man, just touching base, wondering if you managed to fix the issue you were having?
@@underscore00 Unfortunately not. I tried to decipher what you gave me, and I couldn't replicate it. I'm too new on blueprints, I've also never programmed. I think I need to go back and study some fundamentals. Right now I'm just reverse engineering everything in my head from examples you provided without any core knowledge. I do understand a lot of what you did, so the tutorial was great, I even understand some of what you were doing in the diagram you provided me. At this point I don't even know the right questions to ask for you to help me lol. Thanks, I do appreciate it.
@@underscore00 I will come back to this later on, right now I'm taking some online courses on Blueprints starting with the very basics. I will then hopefully be able to replicate your diagram and let you know. Thanks again!
AddMovementInput just does not work for me in 4.26
I see this movement doesn’t have collision though can you maybe message a screen shot of how to add that?
I'll definitely be expanding on this in the future (if I'm allowed, my actual job is in VR development) but in the meantime theres a comment elsewhere on this video with a link to another tutorial that shows how to set up collision :)
i cant set controls for oculus rift motion controls, i did everything u did and still not moving
thanks!
Trying to implement VR but thumbstick input is always 0 for some reason when using Oculus Touch controllers.
for some reason once i have it ready to test it the first time, my head is spawned 10 ft up and 10 ft to the left when i spawn in to test the locomotion. Please help
Its As If its no longer being recognized as a spawn
You have to update for UE5 lol I cant figure it out
Nice tutroail but my it automatcily moves forever once ive pressed my jostick foward!
Well, I couldn't get it to work. Forward goes backwards and the Snap turn doesn't work at all! (I look and look I can not see a single difference between yours and mine. Why do they never offer the actual sample code so you can ACTUALLY check? Maybe this is incompatible with 4.18 (I have need to go back to it for a project, it is hell).. Any help greatly appreciated.
Very useful tutorial thank you so much.But I have a question please when I try go forward the movement start but we can not stop my hands .I mean my hands are still going forward despite of not using my joysticks.Do have any idea about that issue.And thank you so much!!
How would I implement a sprint feature?
Great tutorial i got it working fine with the vr template but I tried doing this with a blank project of my own and for some reason none of the motion controller inputs were selectable or even on the list when trying to setup my axis mappings in project settings ?? Any idea why the hell this as is its driving me crazy!! And I cant move forward....Thank you
I have the same problem here.
You have to create them in the inputs tab in project settings
If I wanted to make the player rotate multiple times if they're holding the joystick, how would I do that? How I have it set up now is like it is in the video, if they hold it then they turn, but I also want it to be if they hold it for another like .5 seconds they'd turn again, and another half a second would turn as well, and so on. What nodes would I have to add/edit to make that possible? Looking for advice from underscore or anyone else that thinks they know. Thanks in advance. Great video by the way!
I know I am four months late but instead of a do once node you can use a delay node
@@ReversalsIk I'm 2 months late but thx for the advice, I'll try it out
If you're moving forward and turn your head, will you veer off to that side like in Asgard's Wrath?
awesome tutorial, thanks! is it possible to get like a subtle up and down movement while walking to make it feel more realistic? thanks!
This is exactly what I needed.
Is there any way to debug Blueprints when previewing in VR? The Unreal GUI disappears when starting the VR preview so I can't see what's going on in real time.
Whenever I grab/grip something and try to walk forward my character starts walking backwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Not sure if you still need help, but the collision of the object is pushing back against your character. You need to create some sort of exception to have your character ignore collision of your hands/the object whilst holding it
@@RyDawgE got it sorted, cheers
At 7:32 when I try to connect the addition node to "New Transform Rotation" I get this error: ""Float is not compatible with rotator". Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I added movement to vr in unreal on my own, but when I'm running past objects, the textures/object seems to tear really ugly, almost like a motion blur/texture vibration as I run past it. Is there a way to fix this?
Hi i'm fairly new to UE4, can i still use teleportation when i use this Method, or do i have to implement a way to switch between those 2 options?
why did you stop making vr content. idk how to do anything, plz start it up again
Thanks for the tutorial, I wanted to ask, when I test it in my oculus quests connected by the oculus link, the rotation works perfectly, but when I install it in the quests it doesn't.
Would you know why?
Playing around with this in unreal 4.26.2 and I can only move in the direction the headset is looking, not independently. Using quest 2. Anyone have an idea why?
How would ypu set it so that instead of jumping 45 degrees one way or the other, you could have a smooth rotation on the thumbstick X input?
Very helpful tutorial & thanks for sharing. I am trying to make a simple AI character chase the VR Pawn but instead of chasing me he goes to the 0 of the world location, any idea how I can get this to work?
I still can't move with the motion controls only the other motion movement works
Im not sure why but this only works if i create a new player blueprint. It doesnt work from the motion controller blueprint included with the vr template. Can anyone help me? I’m on 4.25
Does this handle collisions?
Wouldn't it be better to check that x/y values are close to zero as opposed to exactly zero? Since we probably don't want to trigger if the value is 0.00000001
You could also use "nearly equal" to replace the deadzone part and avoid the greater than and less than calculations.
Oculus Quest2 Rotation doesn't work Any Advice?
Solved. I supposed to set Rotation Angle 0 before "Set Actor Transform"
Hello, everything works fine but for some reason when i use the right thumbstick it only snaps the view once and then that is it and wont reset, i have double checked all my connections , any info would be greatly appreciated :) Great tutorial !
Have you found a fix for this? In the same boat you are
hi, I'm going to start a VR project in UE4. Which Headset do you reccomend? Vive or Oculus Rift s?
would you be able to upload this blueprint somewhere?
I noticed that the character doesn't like to follow terrains or elevations down and instead just floats. How do you get gravity to affect the player?
use a raytrace pointing straight down, search for a hovering tut on you tube
the value of float cant been check by "=="
Does this tutorial work for the Htc vive controller trackpad? Id like to walk/run around like pavlov or boneworks. Thanks! :)
If rotation doesnt work make sure to set bUseControllerRotationYaw to false in your Pawn.
You are a lifesaver and a scholar
hey so when turning its rotates my whole player character around a circle not just spin the camera anyone know a fix?
I know exactly what you mean. Marco G. has a great video not only giving you the fix but explaining why it happens: th-cam.com/video/1rQvPnKvlfk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MarcoGhislanzoni
camera rotation works but the movement doesnt for me, I checked the blueprint its the exact same and I am using vive wands
yeah I forgot to add "Floating Pawn Movement" as shown at 2:40 , be careful y'all :d
@@noodleface9975 OH MY GOD THIS WAS IT?
I did exactly as in the video and it doesn't move an inch :(
Have you set the button inputs in your project settings?
@@underscore00 I'm pretty sure I've done this. Everything that was under the basic VR map inputs were imported into mine.
Hi. Thanks for this useful tutorial. How may I increase the speed of my character? Right now, the add movement input only has a normalized scale so any number bigger than 1 is floored.
Hmmm thats interesting. If you crank up your movement speed variable, does anything change or do you hit a speed limit? Ill test this for myself to be sure and get back to you :)
@@underscore00 I turned up maximum walk speed from 600 to 1000, then 3000, 4000 and it made no difference. the Movement speed variable you use multiplies the axis value (-1 to 1) by a float which then gets floored down to -1 or 1 by the add movement input node. I tried adjusting for this by increasing the maximum walk speed and then using .25, .6, 1.0 for the movement speed value but it had no effect as well.
Hey bev, what vr headset/controller do you use/recommend?
At my current job I use Oculus Rift, Vive and Odyssey Pro and I can tell you that Odyssey Pro is easily best of those 3. Personally I got a Rift S shortly after they released it and it's amazing :) as a recommendation though, you might as well get a Quest for cordless gaming and if you dont have a beast PC. If you have a beast PC though, Rift S is the best bang for buck.
@@underscore00
I use a Odyssey + as well, and its really great with its AMOLED Display the colors just pop, not to mention the Anti-Screen Door effect film which makes it almost impossible to notice any Screen Door Effect, and if your PC is strong enough to handle at least 200% Super Sampling of the native headset resolution, then it's a no brainer as long as you get it close to $300
For me, its the best headset I can currently get that'll be compatible with my setup, as I don't have any VR Compatible Computers with a Display Port (I'm currently playing on a Laptop)
If I would upgrade, I'd rather go all the way to the Valve Index, as long as Valve works out the manufacturing issues people have been reporting, though I'm sure an upgrade like that won't be for awhile as I need a DP PC.
SetActorTransform seems to rotate the whole VR playarea, is there a way to rotate only camera/player?
This solves it!! Thank you :)
Hey! What kind of VR headset are you using in this tutorial? There are no options for "Motion controller" in the Inputs in project settings for me. I followed the tutorial and it's as if it's not affecting anything at all. I'm using an Oculus Rift S.
I just finished and it didn't work I realized under motion controls it says redacted so I went under oculus touch and replaced all of them so under motion controller left thumb x i added oculus touch left thumb x and the same for the others i will test tomorrow to see if that's the fix
I also used an oculus rift S for this tutorial. Weird. Have you tried checking your project settings under input for the axis mappings? That might be where you need to set the controllers, but i just piggy-backed off the built-in VR controller. Definitely hit me up if youre still running into trouble, im more than happy to help :)
I know this is a silly question, but I'm new to Unreal Engine 4; is there any way I can prevent my hands from clipping into things? Let's say through the ground or a table. I want them to be a physics type item with collisions, but I can't seem to do it by myself. Anyone know how to?
Maybe this can help you: "Lets Create Physical Animations" by Matthew Palaje, a problem with this approach is that your player gets a strange feeling of 'out your body' experience, BONEWORKS is an excellent example with reports of the body being trapped inside physics puzzles
what version is this made in?
Is it normal for my character to ignore collisions when moving around
Nope is a Bug how you fix it?
hmmm why is my vr template world different? theres no hands, and the level is different. i wonder if they changed that over the 2 years since this video release.
where can i find this template?
