Help needed to add jump function to OVR Player Controller?

if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.F))
   Jump ();

The Jump function is in there, it's just disabled since it's usually not a comfortable experience.

You can enable it by adding this to the end of UpdateMovement() in OVRPlayerController.cs:

if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.F))
   Jump ();

In the inspector for OVRPlayerController, you can mess with Jump Force and Gravity Modifer.

// No positional movement if we are in the air
		if (!Controller.isGrounded)
		       MoveScale = 0.0f;

// No positional movement if we are in the air
		//if (!Controller.isGrounded)
		      // MoveScale = 0.0f;

Here's what worked for me, written in baby steps for beginners (because I'm a beginner and some people here speak like if everybody knew what we were doing but nooo, some of us we have baby level programming skills, so hopefully this helps newbies like me go step by step).

- STEP 1

On Unity hierarchy (left pane) click on OVRPlayerController

- STEP 2

On the right pane search OVR Player Controller (Script) and right click > Edit Script

- STEP 3

On the script go to where it says public virtual void UpdateMovement()

{

- STEP 4

Click the weird parentheses { and your editor should highlight the corresponding closing weird parentheses }. This is so that you know where to write. Anywhere inside the { and the corresponding closing } of the function UpdateMovement() write the below:

if (Input.GetKeyDown("x") || OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.One))

    Jump();

This means if you click x on your keyboard (after you click play in Unity) or the button A on the Oculus controller (after build) you jump. If you don't want the A button, find whichever controller button by Googling unity-ovrinput and search where it says 'Example Usage'.

- STEP 5

Also ensure that JUMP is activated. It should look like this:

/// <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;

}

If you see /// in other lines, delete (that comments the lines out, which we don't want, except for the first three lines above).

This will let you jump but lamely (yes, lamely, I invented that word to mean of a lame nature... then I Googled and it means something different :o but I will use it here for "a lame thing"). So you jump lamely because if you are walking forward and you jump it will just jump up (but not keep going forward, and nobody jumps like that except Boston Dynamics' Alpha Dog and other robots bue we want a HUMAN jump). To fix the lameliness of the jump, comment - meaning add /// - to the "No positional movement in air" in that same script. It should look like this:

// No positional movement if we are in the air

//if (!Controller.isGrounded)

// MoveScale = 0.0f;

You could also delete instead of comment out but I prefer commenting because whenever I delete lines or files from my computer I feel that I might need them in the future and I will regret deleting and then it will be a catastrophe but in reality I never do so I have files that I created in 2012 that I had never opened but that's a subject for another day. Short story long, delete or comment it, whatever you prefer.

Now you should be able to jump up AND forward/sideways at the same time, like a proper human.

- STEP 6

Go to your game and jump and then find out another problem and search the internet for an answer. Rinse and repeat endlessly.
