Bones list is empty

Hi Folks,   Two questions: 1. My list of bones is always empty.  I have an OVRhandprefab stored in a variable called skeleton. But when I call skeleton.Bones in my start method it always has a co...

    You have to wait until the OVRSkeleton's Initialize method has finished before you can get the bones. The simplest way to do that is wait a frame before getting the bones. Since the Start method can be turned into a coroutine you can do that like this:

     

    public class GetBones : MonoBehaviour {
    private OVRSkeleton skeleton;
    private Transform indexTipTransform;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    IEnumerator Start() {
        skeleton = GetComponent<OVRSkeleton>();

        while (skeleton.Bones.Count == 0) {
            yield return null;
        }

        foreach (var bone in skeleton.Bones) {
            if (bone.Id == OVRSkeleton.BoneId.Hand_IndexTip) {
                indexTipTransform = bone.Transform;
            }
        }
    }
}

     

    Then if there's a particular part of the hand to you to get the position of you look for the bone.Id in the Bones list and store that part's transform (the foreach part above).
