Controls with Vive do not work
« on: March 05, 2017, 01:33:33 AM »
Just got a Vive, and trying to use this program (purchased version).

The attached XBox controller does not allow any kind of movement.  I can use the menu key (and A to select menu items after looking at them), but movement does not work, nor does resetting the view.

There seems to be no way with the Vive controller to do anything but teleport.  Turning the view by physically turning around is not a viable option for someone sitting in a chair (which is what anyone using this program is extremely likely to be doing).

None of the keyboard movement controls work, either.

I tried the demo a long while back with an Oculus DK2, and don't recall any of these problems.  When I got the purchased version, it no longer worked with the DK2, but the desktop view worked with the keyboard controls (once I used AutoHotKey to remap them sensibly) or the XBox controller.

Why is it so broken with the Vive?

I remember i had problems with the vive controller at first, but then i found out that you point at stuff by looking at it and not pointing with the controller. Then you use the trigger on the controller as a kind of click.

Hopefully that helps you out a bit, all i need are usually the track pad for teleporting and the trigger buttons to select.

I'm not talking about selecting menu items, but basic movement.

As in, there is no way to move.  None of the controls work, other than teleporting with the Vive controller, which doesn't work if you can't even face the direction you want to go without standing up and physically turning around (when you start, it places you facing away from the entrance, so you can't even just move forward from where you are).
