NGUI with Leap Motion, or NGUI without mouse
I'm trying to call events on the NGUI Button Script, such as OnPress, OnHover, etc., using the Leap Motion Controller.
These messages are called just fine with the mouse but how would I call these functions if the user is not using a mouse and is using an alternative input device?
Thank you for your suggestions!
I'll leave this as a comment as I am a newbie NGUI user and can't consider this as a complete answer. Check out UICamera class as I think you can follow the events around there. Hopefully you can easily add a new controller to the system, to simulate mouse clicks.
I've never used the Leap Controller, but can you already get the 'touch' and 'drag' equivalent events?
Once you have the events you'd want to and add a ProcessLeap (or similar) method which uses that data and call it according to some conditions similar to how it's already done in NGUI's update loop where ProcessTouches, Process$$anonymous$$ouse and ProcessOthers are called.
Statement, thank you! You led me to the code I needed to modify.
Hi Can you please help me doing the same, I am a beginner in Unity 3D and I am using the same libraries. at the moment menus are working fine with the mouse. but I need to do it trough unity. I managed to put the hands into my scene, however, I don't know how to use them as inputs. i really need your help please. Thanks
Try with the package Leap Motion Interactions (http://u3d.as/content/pixelplacement/leap-motion-interactions/5dk) It could be useful for you.
Thank you for the suggestion, but that package did not help.
As pointed out by Statement, I needed to modify the UICamera script.
In a nutshell, I did a search for any code that was using "Input.MousePosition" and replaced it with Camera.WorldToScreenSpace().
