Disabling mouse rotation affect on headset

I'm assuming you're referring to the OVRPlayerController. If so, there's a simple solution (at least as far as I know in SDK 0.2.5c). Edit the OVRPlayerController script, and around line 78 or so line the code that says this:

private bool  AllowMouseRotation      = true;

And change that to false, then Save. And that should do it. If you wanted to toggle this at runtime, you can call the OVRPlayerController's SetAllowMouseRotation(bool) function at any time.

This was actually the first thing I did/tried.
I searched through all the ovr scripts for
The word mouse and found the line of
Code you referenced above. It seems quite
Self explanatory and easy to do I thought. So
I set the variable to false the same as you suggested
but it had no effect.

I tried it several times, confirned saving
The script, reopened unity and confirmed
again it was false but still no effect. The mouse
Continues to stubbornly move the rotation
of the head set once in game view.

I thought maybe there was so other setting or
overide but could find nothing.

I'm actually really surprised that I don't see
more people interested in doing this.
In fact I don't understand why the mouse effect on the
Headset rotation isn't disabled by default.

I found a solution. In the UpdateMovement() method of OVRPlayerController I had to change this following line of code:

deltaRotation = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * rotateInfluence * 0.0f; // originally rotateInfluence was multiplied by 3.25f  

This stopped the mouse from having any effect on the head rotation.

Thanks. This helped me as well. Should've thought of it earlier though. I hope Oculus knows about this that setting AllowMouseRotation to false doesn't do anything.
