Somehow the hands weren't tracking with my controllers - they were just stuck on the ground so I couldn't do anything but move my head and look around. I hope you finish the game post-jam. The babies + missile command sounds just like the type of game I'd enjoy.
Interesting! It tested alright with the Rift...just so I know where to start my troubleshooting, are you using PC link on a Quest or a dedicated PCVR setup?
I was using a Valve Index through SteamVR. I'll try it again with my Rift and also the Quest with airlink and let you know.
Awesome, thanks! That makes sense, I had to switch to Oculus framework for the development because my OpenXR got messed up somehow and would hang on load whenever I tried to run the scene in the editor.
However, the OpenXR framework should still work for the build so I'll try doing that for the updated version, as I think the Index should work with OpenXR.
The hands worked fine with the Oculus Rift. What happens next is interesting though - whenever I try to grab one of the dispensers, I suddenly get thrown hundreds of meters upwards into the air. Makes me wonder - what if there is a game of missile command, but from the point of view as a missile. :)
TL;DR That's the problem that stopped me from finishing.
Long: That was the issue that sidelined my progress long enough to keep me from finishing. I understand roughly what the problem was--I built my VR game interaction system around picking up items that exist in the world, not creating and dispensing new items into a hand.
The spawn plus grab causes...unpleasantness. I think it's because the item is kinematic until a grab is triggered, but there is no logical reason why the character Rigidbody should have upward force applied, and it was not nearly so pronounced in the editor so I am guessing it's frame rate dependent.
I'll be replacing the whole interaction system for my next iteration.
If you want to get a chance to try the mechanics, you can hair-trigger tap the button to minimize launching and it does make an item drop out.
Interestingly, if you put your hand on the dispenser while holding an object, it will just drop more out at 1 per second (that's a long story).
That's how you can actually try the mechanics that are SUPPOSED to be in the game 😝
