Steam VR touchpad to rotate object
Hi there!
I'm actually developing a system for a car, and I'm trying to remap the wheels' rotation to the Vive controller's touch-pad.
First thing I Tried was linking the wheels to an empty object, and parent the touch-pad X and Y with the empty object's position, but it didn't work.
Then I tried getting X and Y from the touch-pad and rotate the desired gameObject by passing the value trough gameObject's rotation.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Touchpad : MonoBehaviour {
SteamVR_Controller.Device device;
SteamVR_TrackedObject trackedobj;
public GameObject wheelL;
public GameObject wheelR;
public float multiplier = 30;
Vector2 touchpad;
private float sensitivity = 3.5f;
void Start ()
{
trackedobj = GetComponent<SteamVR_TrackedObject>();
device = SteamVR_Controller.Input((int)trackedobj.index);
}
void Update ()
{
float tiltAroundX = device.GetAxis(Valve.VR.EVRButtonId.k_EButton_Axis0).x;
float tiltAroundY = device.GetAxis(Valve.VR.EVRButtonId.k_EButton_Axis0).y;
if (device.GetTouch(SteamVR_Controller.ButtonMask.Touchpad))
{
wheelL.transform.Rotate(0, 0, tiltAroundX);
}
if (device.GetTouchUp(SteamVR_Controller.ButtonMask.Touchpad))
{
wheelL.transform.Rotate(0, 0, 0);
}
}
}
But it accelerates the speed of the rotation, the more you touch the pad to a side, the more fast it rotates, and the rotation doesn't reset after the touch-pad is released. Is there any idea of how can the touch-pad's input be taken to rotate with no acceleration, and reset the object's rotation on release?
Instead of using
"wheelL.transform.Rotate(0, 0, tiltAroundX);"
use
"wheelL.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, tiltAroundX);"
