Longbow does not work with Valve Index Controller #694

Open elwes opened 4 years ago

elwes commented 4 years ago

While testing around with different controllers I noticed, that the longbow in the demo scene can not be fired when used with the index controllers. The vive controllers work just fine. Can someone confirm?

Steps to reproduce: Load SteamVR PlugIn 2.0, find the demo scene with the longbow and try to fire the arrow with the index controllers. You can pick up the longbow, you will get the arrow but you can not use the arrow with the longbow.

It can be fired but you have to have your thumb on the track pad and the trigger held down. Very awkward at first but doable.

Yes, works! Now it would be nice to get it working without holding down down the trackpad. Thanks for your response!

@elwes, This functionality is due to the grab type being a "Pinch", which can be adjusted in the Bow's code. A Pinch grab is performed with the top of the pill pad + the trigger. More info can be found here under the "Hand" Section.

This is an extremely unintuitive gesture.
