thumbstick turning in VR

[ga1pi2ga]

has anyone figured out thumb stick turning in vr? ,i have tried it but keep on getting a error that i do not know how to fix (i am using VRplayer lua the only extra code is here:)

	--teleporting feedback
	if VR:GetControllerButtonDown(VR.Right,VR.AButton) then
	VR:TriggerHapticPulse(VR.Right,50)
	end
	--player turning right
	if VR:GetControllerAxis(VR.Right,VR.TouchpadAxis).x > 0.15 then
		VR:TriggerHapticPulse(VR.Right,20)
		player:turn(0,45,0)
	end
	--player turning left
	if VR:GetControllerAxis(VR.Right,VR.TouchpadAxis).x < -0.15 then
		VR:TriggerHapticPulse(VR.Left,20)
		player:turn(0,-45,0)
	end

Well, it means the player variable is nil. What is it supposed to be?

i am trying to turn the player using Turn but i don't have any idea how to turn a model

[Josh]

Well, if the entity is the one the script is attached to you would say this:

self.entity:Turn(0,1,0)

Or you need to make "player" equal to the entity you want to turn.

thank you that fixed it but apparently this is not the way to turn in vr (the camera and controllers are not turned with the player model)

[Josh]

Ah Okay.

Turning the world around the VR player is only supported if you opt into the beta branch on Steam.

This command offsets the position:
https://www.leadwerks.com/learn?page=API-Reference_Object_VR_SetOffset

If you call VR:SetOffset(position, rotation) or VR:SetOffset(x,y,z,pitch,roll,yaw) then it will turn the world around the player.

okay now i just cannot teleport outside of a small area otherwise the rotation works fine

function Script:UpdateWorld()

	VR:SetOffset(0,0,0,0,avr,0)

	--teleporting feedback
	if VR:GetControllerButtonDown(VR.Right,VR.AButton) then
	VR:TriggerHapticPulse(VR.Right,50)
	end
	--player turning right
	if VR:GetControllerAxis(VR.Right,VR.TouchpadAxis).x > 0.15 then
		VR:TriggerHapticPulse(VR.Right,20)
		avr=avr+5
	end
	--player turning left
	if VR:GetControllerAxis(VR.Right,VR.TouchpadAxis).x < -0.15 then
		VR:TriggerHapticPulse(VR.Left,20)
		avr=avr-5
	end

The way you teleport is by setting the x, y, z values in the offset command.

[Josh]

If you are using the built-in teleport locomotion, let's see...this is at line 299 of VRPlayer.lua:

	--Update offset position
	local pos = VR:GetOffset()
	local d = self.targetoffset:DistanceToPoint(pos)
	local speed = 2.0
	if speed>d then speed=d end
	pos = pos + (self.targetoffset - pos):Normalize() * speed
	VR:SetOffset(pos)

So you would want to add the rotation to that call of the VR:SetOffset() command:

VR:SetOffset(pos,rot)

[ga1pi2ga]

how can i convert from (pitch,roll,yaw) to vec3 rotation? i have looked at rotation but am unsure about the last two arguments

Vec3 Rotation(number pitch, number yaw,number roll, Mat4 src, Mat4 dst)

[ga1pi2ga]

please ignore the previous post figured it out

--Update offset position
	local pos = VR:GetOffset()
	local d = self.targetoffset:DistanceToPoint(pos)
	local speed = 2.0
	if speed>d then speed=d end
	pos = pos + (self.targetoffset - pos):Normalize() * speed
	local arot = Vec3(0,avr,0) --avr is addon rotation
	VR:SetOffset(pos,arot)

If I want to use smooth locomotion and not teleport, how would I call this upon joystick movement? I know it involves VR:SetOffset or VR:GetOffset. Further, I can enter the VR world, but teleport nor locomotion work at all.  I can walk around the world physically.  How do I activate teleport and locomotion with the joystick controllers?
