Question by Xzapo · Jun 02, 2015 at 07:21 PM · javascriptraycastraycastingtrackingmotion

(Raycasting) Changing Position

So I am currently working with an oculus rift and im trying to raycast depending on where the player is looking with the vr headset. Currently it seems like it's only raycasting directly out in one direction, when I need it to do all directions and follow where the player is looking. Here's what I have so far, how would I change it so it would track where a user is looking around?

 if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.forward,hit,100)){ 
         print ("There is something in front of you!");
         if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "found"){ 
             foundObject = hit.collider.gameObject; 
             Destroy(foundObject);
             //x++;
             //print(x);
         } 
     }

Try replace

 if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.forward,hit,100)){

to

 if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward),hit,100)){

I don't see where you code is looking at / getting the input device data. Whether a mouse, keyboard or VR headset, you need to get the data supplied by the input device, somehow. That being said, I'm not sure how to do it with oculus rift, but I did find this answer which offers a solution I cannot test out: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/714931/oculus-device-input-required.html
