Very simple script to do VR walk ... thanks for the tutorial!

Hi Mark, I'm happy you liked. Thanks for the comment.

[@MaximuszEsala]

hey man im a newbie your videos helped me alot but im having trouble with moving i get the following error please help !!! A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods

[@xlaugts151]

Hey Maximus, This might be happening because of some spelling mistake or some () in a wrong order. Have a look on your script with attention and see if you can spot any small mistake. Thanks for watching my friend :)

[@alexdiamantis9141]

Ok so since this is for an Android phone/device, how would a person interact with the controls u show? There is no mouse to click on a phone ect ect

[@xlaugts151]

Hey Alex, Good question, the mouse on phone device works as touch screen. So when I use it to interact is the same as someone using the touchscreen and the gooogle cardboard has that on the side.

[@thedarkshadoww9711]

I know it's been a while since you created this video but I'm would be great if you can help me a problem. The player moves just fine, but I want to have it a little bit of inertia, like keep moving till the button is pressed, and when it's released the player slows down gradually coming to a stop. I cannot work out the logic for this.

[@Novia5555]

This is so useful.. please make another video about Google Cardboard or VR on mobile, cz out three lacking this kind of tutorial ...

[@omarkhedr5855]

Thanks for this video!! What was Fire1 used for?

[@peterquill726]

Hi, can I move player using Unity timeline instead? I don't need any input just want the player to move along position I've key-framed.

When the camera collision with the cube, the camera is fall down, i mean fall on the ground (hope you know what i mean), and sometimes when i walking and turn right of left, the cameras also fall too ... How to fix it ?? Thank you 🤗🤗🤗

[@xlaugts151]

Hey Cops, That might be happening because of the rigibody of your player. You see that the rigibody has a constraints options that you can freeze the rotation of your character. Try to do that do some tests and let me know if that wokred. Thanks for watching :)

[@damurlive]

@@xlaugts151 haha ... I'm forget to check freeze rotation and it fix now ... Thanks 👍👍👍

hey my dude to be honest ur tutorial is good for beginner like myself .... if ur not that busy with anything i would like to suggest a popup message if u gaze on a game object for ur next tutorial

You mean instead of activating a button, you want a message to pop up on the screen ?

I'm trying to code a reverse button but not getting the "if" "else" part right, any ideas? Everything else worked like a charm :)

[@xlaugts151]

Hi Reinaldo, Sorry for the delay I took some days off for the holidays. Could you share a bit more details how are you doing that ? Maybe I could help. The reverse button you added is to make the player walk backwards is it ?

[@michaelwilson7159]

[@xlaugts151]

Hi Michael, Thank you very much, I now studying a lot and I will bring more videos later about VR. :)

[@rajveerjolly7933]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial ! I really appreciate it.

[@abhijitbhushan]

I don't want it to move when the reticle pointer is pointed at something. Could you help me with that? Right now, I've got a panel on which a button needs to be pressed to change the scene. But it still moves a tiny bit when the button is pressed, how can I avoid this? Really appreciate the video, saved me a lot of time and energy, thanks!

[@xlaugts151]

Hey friend, sorry for the delay. Could you provide me a bit more details about what are your trying to do ? You dont want the player to move when you point at something is it ? Let me see if I understood right, you want your player to autowalk and if you point at something stops ??? Sorry if I got it wrong. Cheers

[@abhijitbhushan]

@@xlaugts151 Not exactly, so right now, when I press the button on google cardboard the player moves. But suppose I have a button in my VR scene which the player needs to press to change the scene. When the reticle pointer is aimed at this button, it changes from a dot to a circle, yeah? This is when I don't want any movement when I press the google cardboard button. The movement functionality should be turned off when the reticle pointer is a circle. I hope you understood, thanks for your reply!

[@abhijitbhushan]

In your above video, when you look at the cube and press the button, the player moves a tiny bit, I don't want that to happen. Is there any way to prevent this? The cube should be changing the direction of rotation without the player moving. Thanks!

[@xlaugts151]

@@abhijitbhushan I finally got it what you mean, yeah there is a way I just don't know yet hahahaha. I'm going to make some test and I let you know, I have some idea how to do it I think, basically what I am thinking is if the player looks at the button or object they want to interact we could have a bool variable that will deactivate the walking system and once he stops looking it activates again. I'm not sure if is going to work but I let you know later on ok ?

[@xlaugts151]

@@abhijitbhushan I found a solution: public float playerSpeed; public bool canWalk = true; // Update is called once per frame void Update() { if (Input.GetButton("Fire1") && canWalk) { transform.position = transform.position + Camera.main.transform.forward * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime; } } public void CanWalk() { canWalk = true; } public void CantWalk() { canWalk = false; } I created a variable "canWalk" that needs to be true for the player to be able to walk. If you look let's say to the cube for example, the cube has that component event Trigger you can use pointer enter and exit to call those two methods, so if your player is looking at the cube it will call CantWalk() and the bool is going to be false disabling the movement and on pointer exit you call CanWalk() enabling the movement again. Let me know if that works

Very helpful and clear guide! But I have a problem here, it works well in my Game view, however on my phone the player can't walk, I just have a 360 view but not walking any more. Do you know what happens?

[@xlaugts151]

Hey Zhy, How are you doing to move ? Touching the screen ? There is also one problem with the latest version of the SDK the onClick is not working but I am not sure if that's your case. Let me know how are you doing to get the input, because in the video I use Fire1 which is the same as touching the screen. Thank you for Watching :)

[@Jusete2]

Awesome tutorial, but there is a problem: How can I push the button when app is in mobile cardboard? is it possible? Thanks, I like so much your work .

[@xlaugts151]

Hi Jose, Oh thanks for your comment, I'm not sure if I understood right, but if you asking about how to push the button when the app is on the phone, you just touch the screen and it will change the rotation. Let me know if I got it right or not hahaha. Thanks :)

[@Jusete2]

Hi again! Thanks for write me. void Update () { if (Camera.main.transform.localRotation.x > 0.0f) { transform.position = transform.position + Camera.main.transform.forward * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime; } } If you watch down the player will move. Do you like? it is so simple but may be a temporal solution for a easy game. Thanks again for your tutorials.

[@xlaugts151]

Hi Jose, Yes this also works, it will make the player walk automatic, or you can just leave like that: void Update () { transform.position = transform.position + Camera.main.transform.forward * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime; } Let's say you want to make the player walk when it looks down you could do like this: public float walkAngle = 30.0f; // Angle that will make the player start walking public float playerSpeed; public Transform cam; // Don't forget to assign the main camera to this variable on the inspector // Update is called once per frame void Update () { if(cam.eulerAngles.x >= walkAngle) { transform.position = transform.position + Camera.main.transform.forward * playerSpeed * Time.deltaTime; } } So every time the player looks 30.0 degrees down it will move foward

[@Jusete2]

Fantastic, It is better. (eulerAngles) Thanks!

You're welcome :)
