Daggerfall Unity VR with the Vive Pro

[Vwing]

VR input works now, and raycasts are consistent. There are some other things I could do related to UI, but I want to tackle the low hanging fruit preventing gameplay first.

So. Combat. I'm thinking for a first pass I'll just grab some low-poly meshes from the asset store, and spawn them in your hand(s) according to what items are selected in the character sheet. For bows, I'll use the default SteamVR longbow asset. For blades and other swung weapons, I'll just measure how fast you're swinging it and count it as a hit if you collide with an enemy fast enough. I think the player is going to be pretty OP in this first pass, but it's a first pass so

Welcome to the forums, and great work on what you've accomplished so far!

[Vwing]

Thanks!

Here are the assets I've gathered so far. I'm going to keep them out of version control for now, since altogether they're pretty hefty in filesize.



Still need to find a mace, flail, and staff. But I might put those off and use grey boxes for now, just so I can get to the fun stuff

[Vwing]

Nevermind, the flail was fun stuff

Haha that looks fun!

looks awesome, though the chain links magically become more and less depending on pose and action and chain behaves a bit like rubberband in action

Yeah. It's by no means realistic, lol.

I tried making it more like you'd expect it to work, with the chain links each being a physics joint and the ball hanging at the end, but it didn't work at all. Was either jittery or it fell in slow motion, depending on how I tweaked the settings.

So the ball is now directly attached to the end of the handle with a single joint. At first there was none of that rubber band effect, but it just wasn't very fun to swing... it was like the ball was swinging around on a solid bar of metal. I figured it was already unrealistic, so I might as well make it fun, so I added some springiness to the joint and tweaked things until it was easy to swing at different speeds and circumferences.

The magical chain lengthening is an intentional effect to keep it feeling solid. If I figure out how to do the original "realistic" design, I'll remove it, but I'm moving on to other things for now.

[Nystul]

yeah, sounds reasonable
looking forward to play with the flail in vr
is the demo somewhere on git? if not, no problem

[Vwing]

Yeah, I can put up the flail at least. You can find the demo here https://github.com/Vwing/daggerfall-unity-1 in the 'VR' branch.

Flail demo is in VR/Demo/Weapons/Flail.unity. I've added some toggleable targets. Hit the white cube on the floor to toggle them on or off.

You can see the current state of VR in the game in VR/Demo/Daggerfall/DaggerfallUnityGameVR. Or you can start it with the normal DaggerfallUnityStartup scene; I changed the build settings to load it. Grip activates laser pointers, trigger while gripping activates whatever the laser is pointing at. Pressing down on the joystick opens the menu.

Um... those are Oculus bindings. You'll need to set up the bindings for anything else. https://valvesoftware.github.io/steamvr ... Input.html
