Video

It's almost approved in the store. I'll send you a code when it is to try it out

Thankyou! I really appreciate the comment.

Oh wow someone watched this! I knew the tutorial was not going to be popular, but i didnt think it would do so bad, so I didnt film part 3. I might have time to do it this weekend if you really needed it and wanted to learn how I did it, or I could send you the scripts for it.

@@mikenspired Hey, thanks for the response. Yeah it seems this topic is pretty niche so please don’t make the video just for me. But If you could send me the scripts that would be more than enough and a big help!

using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit; using System.Collections; using Unity.XR.CoreUtils; public class ClimbInteractableMover : MonoBehaviour { [SerializeField] private Transform startPosition, endPosition; [SerializeField] private ClimbInteractable climbInteractable; [SerializeField] private float movementSpeed = 1.0f; [SerializeField] private AnimationCurve forwardAnimCurve = AnimationCurve.Linear(0f, 1f, 1f, 1.5f); [SerializeField] private AnimationCurve returnAnimCurve = AnimationCurve.Linear(0f, 1f, 1f, 1); private float m_MovementThreshold = 0.01f; private Coroutine m_MovementCoroutine; private Vector3 m_Offset; private XROrigin m_XRRig; private void Awake() { OnValidate(); CheckVariables(); climbInteractable.selectEntered.AddListener(OnGrab); climbInteractable.selectExited.AddListener(OnRelease); m_Offset = transform.position - startPosition.position; } private void OnValidate() { if (!climbInteractable) TryGetComponent(out climbInteractable); } private void CheckVariables() { if (!climbInteractable) { Debug.LogError($"{gameObject.name}: {nameof(ClimbInteractable)} component not found"); enabled = false; } if (!startPosition || !endPosition) { Debug.LogError($"{gameObject.name}: Start or End Position not set", this); enabled = false; } } private void OnRelease(SelectExitEventArgs args) => m_XRRig = null; // Stop moving the player private void OnGrab(SelectEnterEventArgs args) { m_XRRig = args.interactorObject.transform.GetComponentInParent<XROrigin>(); ReleaseOtherHandIfGrabbingClimbable(); StartMovement(); } private void ReleaseOtherHandIfGrabbingClimbable() { var currentInteractor = climbInteractable.firstInteractorSelecting.transform.GetComponent<XRDirectInteractor>(); var otherHand = m_XRRig.GetComponent<RigComponents>().GetOtherDirectInteractor(currentInteractor); if (!otherHand.hasSelection) return; var otherClimbInteractable = otherHand.firstInteractableSelected as ClimbInteractable; if (otherClimbInteractable != null) climbInteractable.interactionManager.SelectExit((IXRSelectInteractor)otherHand, otherClimbInteractable); } private void StartMovement() { if (m_MovementCoroutine != null) StopCoroutine(m_MovementCoroutine); m_MovementCoroutine = StartCoroutine(MoveToPosition(endPosition, forwardAnimCurve, true)); } private void ReturnToStart() { if (m_MovementCoroutine != null) StopCoroutine(m_MovementCoroutine); m_MovementCoroutine = StartCoroutine(MoveToPosition(startPosition, returnAnimCurve, false)); } private IEnumerator MoveToPosition(Transform targetPosition, AnimationCurve curve, bool movePlayer) { Vector3 startingPosition = transform.position; Vector3 targetWithOffset = targetPosition.position + m_Offset; Vector3 lastPosition = transform.position; float totalDistance = Vector3.Distance(startingPosition, targetWithOffset); float distanceCovered = 0f; while (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, targetWithOffset) > m_MovementThreshold) { float speedFactor = curve.Evaluate(distanceCovered / totalDistance) * movementSpeed; distanceCovered += Time.deltaTime * speedFactor; transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startingPosition, targetWithOffset, distanceCovered / totalDistance); UpdatePlayerPosition(movePlayer, ref lastPosition); yield return null; } transform.position = targetWithOffset; UpdatePlayerPosition(movePlayer, ref lastPosition); while (m_XRRig) yield return null; if (targetPosition == endPosition) ReturnToStart(); // Automatically return to start } private void UpdatePlayerPosition(bool movePlayer, ref Vector3 lastPosition) { if (!m_XRRig || !movePlayer) return; Vector3 movement = transform.position - lastPosition; m_XRRig.transform.position += movement; lastPosition = transform.position; } }

It's been a while but, on the climb Interactable, under climb configuration, I did override the climb settings and disabled Allow Free X movement I believe. Let me know if you have any issues. I know i had some problems getting it to work how I wanted it to be like, because they made this method private on the Climb Provider, so I had to cut the tutorial short , I'm hoping they make this protected eventually. void StepClimbMovement(ClimbInteractable currentClimbInteractable, IXRSelectInteractor currentInteractor) { var xrOrigin = system.xrOrigin?.Origin; if (xrOrigin != null) { // Move rig such that climb interactor position stays constant var activeClimbSettings = GetActiveClimbSettings(currentClimbInteractable); var allowFreeXMovement = activeClimbSettings.allowFreeXMovement; var allowFreeYMovement = activeClimbSettings.allowFreeYMovement; var allowFreeZMovement = activeClimbSettings.allowFreeZMovement; var rigTransform = xrOrigin.transform; var interactorWorldPosition = currentInteractor.transform.position; Vector3 movement; if (allowFreeXMovement && allowFreeYMovement && allowFreeZMovement) { // No need to check position relative to climbable object if movement is unconstrained movement = m_InteractorAnchorWorldPosition - interactorWorldPosition; } else { var climbTransform = currentClimbInteractable.climbTransform; var interactorClimbSpacePosition = climbTransform.InverseTransformPoint(interactorWorldPosition); var movementInClimbSpace = m_InteractorAnchorClimbSpacePosition - interactorClimbSpacePosition; if (!allowFreeXMovement) movementInClimbSpace.x = 0f; if (!allowFreeYMovement) movementInClimbSpace.y = 0f; if (!allowFreeZMovement) movementInClimbSpace.z = 0f; movement = climbTransform.TransformVector(movementInClimbSpace); } rigTransform.position += movement; } }

@@mikenspired thank you!

@@mikenspired please, also why not use some sort of discord/ community approach to delegate some upgrades, yours looks very very advanced for the time it was made, regards

@@RealformStudioXR The asset is back on the store for free now. assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/xri-starter-kit-170222

@@mikenspired Thanks will check this out sooner as possible, thanks for share with the world

also interested to see if this is possible

That's a regular Unity behaviour. Nothing to do with the Asset. A Trigger needs to be entered/collided with for OnTriggerStay to be called. If you simply spawn something into a Trigger, it won't register. This is due to Triggers being part of the physics system using collisions.

I dont think so. I write tests for all of my unity code at my day job, and I'm not sure what you would even be thinking? Since test driven development is usually unit tests, those units that you might be testing are already nodes that you wouldn't write tests for. Sounds more like you would be writing integration tests for your AI to make sure its still running the expected behavior if you make changes.

Thankyou!! Sadly I never finished it, but hopefully it got you going.

@@mikenspired it really did i would have loved to get some insight into linking my own scripts to node canvas cause its been a real struggle

Yeah sorry! This was back 5-6 years ago when I made this. I don't think vive was even out yet when I was working on this, I remember buying the second devkit which had no controllers. This was a college project.

Hey!!! Sorry, the dear old normal life tragedies we all go through one day happened, and I'm finally just pulling life back together. So hopefully in the next week I'll get a new update out.I see the new toolkit also just came out so its a perfect time for me to get back on it. Incase you don't know, any of Valems or VR with Andrew tutorials work with the handposer since they are using the UnityXR toolkit also.

@@mikenspired No worries man, take all the time you need! I am looking forward to it 👍🏼

for beginner, better learn code. for me boring with code for years, now I have fun with this.

Correct. This project uses the Normal Pipeline. You need to go through the process of upgrading a project to URP. Just a click of a button, but some particles, and the lighting will look bad.

Yes I use 2020.1, I am always on the latest version of Unity

Haha. I just listened to that like 4 times... I wonder if I meant to leave that.

@@mikenspired Haha I repeated it more than that. It was really funny! I'm still in the midst of watching all your NodeCanvas tuts. I really like your tut style :) Do you have discord channel for your youtube?

Hey, no need to pay anything for requests. They just go in my list of things to do. I'm making a joystick/lever for someone next, but I can get to your request after. Can you describe how that's different than the Halberd you can grab right now? Can you describe the situation you would be using that in?

MikeNspired Tutorials Ok so for my vr game I decided to switch to the steamvr toolkit for a while since i was having openvr issues and constant crashes and I was planning on switching back for a little bit but I was unaware that there even was a halberd that had multiple grab points so I guess it was my mistake and I will test it tomorrow when I get back to my computer and will either comment or email you if I require any features but so far this asset is amazing and I probably wouldn’t use the xr toolkit without it!

Hmmm.... I dont remember exactly what I did for this, but when I was doing something like a call of duty AI. Which should be similar. I did some math to shoot ray cast into different points in a grid to make it adjustable for performance. Then check if those spots have a raycast (Line of sight to player). Then raycast at a crouch position to see its a potential canidate to also crouch to hide. If multiple spots were found, then do some kind of math to determine which one was ideal for the type of character for expamle which spot is furthest away from player, closest to player or just closest to the AI choosing it.

@@mikenspired so you're not using physx at all? I'd like to know more about your process. projecting the scene into a grid would allow jobs+burst queue to handle such thing... well I'm just realizing that there is only one player, not 100s of agents to LOS against...

Thankyou!! I don't know how relevant it is anymore but hopefully not still gets the process or idea across

@@mikenspired oh yes very relevant. what's so nice is that you go step by step, first with a hardwired implementation then generalized. What do you use nowadays and why?

@@daslolo I got a job doing VR development so I actually have not been doing any AI stuff. I did mess around doing AI with BOLT since my job used it, but it lacks any AI features, you need to basically code them all your self + Bolt is in a very weird place right now with Unity acquiring them.

@@mikenspired i hope they’ll have you make some AI to populate the VR world, you deserve it

Sorry, no... I used it while I made these but I switched jobs which was using bolt. So I thought I could try to use their state machines instead since I had to learn it for work.

@@mikenspired and how does it compare?

Great! I'm so glad!

Thank you!!!! . Its pretty nerve-racking making youtube videos. I really appreciate your compliment

Thanks so much! I still need to make a lot more youtube videos on how everything works, but i've been too distracted adding new features.... So for now just shoot me an email if you need help or have feedback. MikeNspired@gmail.com. Also, leave a comment or email on any new features or game prototypes you would like to see added.

Yes, It uses the new UnityXR Tool kit that's actually still in preview. I'd give that a shot first, lots of tutorials on it on youtube. This builds ontop of that. I only have a mixed reality headset, so I am waiting on some input for some customers to get the button configuration to setup a rig in the demo scene for oculus.Customers have said they changed one or two enum values on the character rig and got it working right.

@@mikenspired Thansk, I am very interested in acquiring it for a new project.

I use it with Oculus Quest with Link and it's amazing - WELL worth the money and the developer is very responsive to support questions.
