Custom Float Controller

I'm currently working on a custom controller implementation based on the existing OVRPlayerController. In this setup the player is situated in a floating space. Basically what we need to do is elimin...

1: The player only moves up and down if the primaryAxis is triggered and thus also moving the player left right forwards or backwards



In the code snippet you posted, the amount of up/down movement is being scaled by the primaryAxis.y (forward/back) value. I'm guessing this should be the secondaryAxis.y instead.

2: Up and down on the secondary axis seems to be changing the forward/backwards vector rather than propelling the player itself, so if you move backwards by pulling back on the primaryAxis.y while setting the vector to up with the secondaryAxis.y you move backwards and down rather than backwards and up.


Also in the snippet, the top check (for down) uses MathF.Abs to force the primaryAxis.y to be positive. But the check for up is missing the Abs call, so if you are moving backwards then primaryAxis.y is negative, that is being multiplied by the up vector to make it a down vector.

Try this:
  1. if (secondaryAxis.y < 0.0f)
  2.                 MoveThrottle += ort * (Mathf.Abs(secondaryAxis.y) * transform.lossyScale.y * moveInfluence *
  3.                                        BackAndSideDampen * Vector3.down);
  4.  
  5.             if (secondaryAxis.y > 0.0f)
  6.                 MoveThrottle += ort * (Mathf.Abs(secondaryAxis.y) * transform.lossyScale.y * moveInfluence * BackAndSideDampen *
  7.                                        Vector3.up);

What I would probably do is cut that down to just one check like:
MoveThrottle += ort * secondaryAxis.y * transform.lossyScale.y * moveInfluence * BackAndSideDampen * Vector3.up;
If secondaryAxis.y is negative, then it reverses the up vector naturally.
