Auto dismiss health warning in Unity (unitypackage)

I know a lot of you guys want to have the health warning removed. I don't know how to remove it, but I got it to auto dismiss. After a few seconds, the warning disappears on its own. No need to press the anykey button.

Look at line 111 in OVR\Scripts\OVRDevice.cs

if (HMD != null && Input.anyKeyDown && HMD.GetHSWDisplayState().Displayed)


and change it to:

if (HMD != null && HMD.GetHSWDisplayState().Displayed)


For those who don't want to edit any files, I attached a zip file containing a unitypackage that you can import into your project. Use it to overwrite OVRDevice.cs after backing up your project first.

    Great tip! The warning becomes really annoying after a while and the default script doesn't accept "any key" but space, and most of the demos I've seen so far don't change this, so thanks ;)

    This got really annoying after a while, I don't know how they thought this was a great idea to have and everyone will want to start their project with that Warning displaying...

    The HSW can be auto-dismissed in the latest (v0.4.4) version of the Unity 4 Integration plugin by changing:

    Line 521 of OVR/Scripts/OVRManager.cs from
    if (isHSWDisplayed && Input.anyKeyDown)

    to
    if (isHSWDisplayed)

    this doesn't seem to be working now, is there a new method for 0.5.0.1?

    Thanks for the tip. I still don't see why this isn't a default option for developers
