Camera parented to object
Hi:
I just sat down to give the OVR libs a go. For some reason if I parent the OVRCameraController to an object, it tracks the position just fine, but does not follow the objects rotation.
Is there an easy way to resolve this issue?
Kind Regards:
John

- I did this a while ago. Either edit that script or use another one to reference the ovrcameracontroller and assign a rotation variable in it to the desired rotation that you which I assume is the parent object. I dint have my computer with me right now with the code but I can show what I did later if no one else does. There is also an example in the player controller prefab.
- This issue has come up before. I thought it was fixed, but maybe it hasn't been published yet.
I will see if we can get this in the next release. Thanks. - It does not look like the unity sdk has been updated yet :P
It looks like in the OVRCameraController, if you assign the transform variable FollowOrientation, It will follow the orientation of whatever you assign to it. "cybereality" wrote:

Thanks Cyber... Is there an ETA on this?- I was having this issue, but then I just set the neck offset to 0, and set the OVRCam to the position on the object where the neck should go.
rotates fine now :)
What was happening was, the body was pivoting around the x and z axis, but the neck was still projected off from the center position. "robotloveskitty" wrote:

I still want the neck to be taken into account. Basically its so I can place the camera inside some form of vehicle. I still want head-tracking rotation, but parented to an object that can also rotate.- The neck still works, this is just the neck offset amount. As far as I can tell, this is where the neck starts, not the length of the neck.
Oh! and did you assign the "Follow Orientation" transform? - Yeah, I would try the FollowOrientation variable and see if that does what you need.

Ill use that for now. But I think it would be nice not to have to do this. It's not entirely intuitive.
Thanks again Cyber!
