Age Old Question - How To Jump

OK, can't believe i can't find this online - i'm using 2018.3.  What script to i have to add to OVRPlayerController.cs to enable jumping with the A button, which i think has the ID 0?  Unfortunately i just  don't know how to program/script.

/// <summary>
/// Jump! Must be enabled manually.
/// </summary>
public bool Jump()
{
if (!Controller.isGrounded)
return false;

        MoveThrottle += new Vector3(0, transform.lossyScale.y * JumpForce, 0);

return true;

Many thanks.

    Just put this somewhere in the Update method of OVRPlayerController
    if (OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.One))
       Jump();

    Wonderful!  Now, I don't want to push my luck but the player now just drops from the jump - i've poked around Gravity in the OVRPlayerController script but can't find what to alter to make it a more curved return to the ground.

    Adjust the Gravity Modifier in the OVRPlayerController in the inspector (so not the script itself)
    I have mine set to 0.25, but depending on how floaty you want your jump to be you can set it even lower

    Is the OVRPlayerController really worth it? I mean why don't you do your game mechanics separate from any platform dependent stuff, and then just move the camera with your character (OVRCameraRig prefab for Oculus)? Doing it with OVRPlayerController means you will have to reproduce that functionality when you decide to do a SteamVR version for example... or am I wrong here?
