Pawn & HMD Rotation

Hello Stlava,

I was wondering, how did you set up your pawn ?
Because I have the kind of behavior you are talking about working on my pawn.
What kind of Anim Tree did you use ? your own or derived form one of udk ?

Actually, the Oculus camera is taking over everything, so I can do 360 with the head... independently of the body...
Problem is I cannot assign the oculus to the head bone, I can't aim the head, even with a
I can't figure a way to have the hear orienting to the oculus direction.
(using a SkelControlLookAt node)
I would like to have the oculus rotating the body when I am beyond 90 also...
Oculus is independent :(

What i have with my pawn is the regular pawn behavior : I can use the pad to orient the oculus and when I am more than 90 the body turns.
As my oculus is independent, i can reorient the body without the view moving.

I wish there was a documentation, right now the "OCULUS_UnrealIntegration.pdf" is so light...

Do you have your rift already ?

The oculus is unlinked from the pawn but when I try rotating the pawn the camera is rotated as well. I'm using the base UT implementation. Specifically I'm trying to rotate via Pawn.ClientSetRotation() but like I said it ends up rotating the pawn and camera simultaneously. How do you perform your rotation?

I am using an AnimTree based on the UT Cathode character.
The skeleton has been made from sratch.
The camera was attached using the add eyeSocket method
So before Oculus i had true First Person and all was working well.

I am using a gamepad so I rotate the pawn with
Bindings=(Name="GBA_TurnLeft",Command="Axis aBaseX Speed=-200.0 AbsoluteAxis=100")
Bindings=(Name="GBA_TurnRight",Command="Axis aBaseX Speed=+200.0 AbsoluteAxis=100")

and using that I have 90 rot left and 90 rot right before the body turns.
And the oculus is independent.

"ends up rotating the pawn and camera simultaneously"

I understand, it's not doing that on my side

here is what I have in my PlayerController regarding the rotation :

function UpdateRotation( float DeltaTime )
{
   local Rotator   DeltaRot, newRotation, ViewRotation;

   ViewRotation = Rotation;
   if (Pawn!=none)
   {
      Pawn.SetDesiredRotation(ViewRotation);
   }

   // Calculate Delta to be applied on ViewRotation
   DeltaRot.Yaw   = PlayerInput.aTurn;
   DeltaRot.Pitch   = PlayerInput.aLookUp;

   ProcessViewRotation( DeltaTime, ViewRotation, DeltaRot );
   SetRotation(ViewRotation);

   NewRotation = ViewRotation;
   NewRotation.Roll = Rotation.Roll;

   if ( Pawn != None )
      Pawn.FaceRotation(NewRotation, deltatime);
} 

And in my Pawn :

/*
GetViewRotation
always match the camera to the rotation of the eye socket
*/
simulated event rotator GetViewRotation()
{
    local vector out_Loc;
    local rotator out_Rot;

    if (EyeSocket == '')
        return Super.GetViewRotation();

    Mesh.GetSocketWorldLocationAndRotation(EyeSocket, out_Loc, out_Rot);

    return out_Rot;
}

//function to aim the head where the player looks
exec function LookAt(int p, int y, int r)
{
local SkelControlSingleBone HeadControl;
local Rotator APlace;

APlace.Pitch = p;
APlace.Yaw = y;
APlace.Roll = r;

HeadControl = SkelControlSingleBone(Mesh.FindSkelControl('HeadControl'));
HeadControl.bApplyRotation = true;
HeadControl.SetSkelControlStrength(1.0, 0.5);
HeadControl.BlendInTime = 5.0;
HeadControl.bAddRotation = true;
HeadControl.BoneRotation = APlace;
}

Kinda broken because it doesn't care about the eyesocket rotation anymore,
Ouculus in on top :(

I hope it helps
