How do you add more XBOX Buttons support when the product only has support for movement?

I got a product for making VR game. it has a character controller with a body. you can walk/run and rotate but that's about it. It is not based on OVR utilities  So can't do the if (OVR.Input etc).

Do i have to map the buttons using the Edit/Project Setttings/Input Manager?
and then to check i would do if( Input.getButton(Button.three) )  etc etc?

is that how it works?

That sounds like a good approach. OVRPlayerController is considered a template for you to modify as needeed. If you really don't want to change it, you can always wrap the protected members with public ones in the derived class.

You can add checks in say the "update() function for the OVR input etc. You need to have the OVR manager in your scene usually.

I just started with the OVR unity utilities package. And then go from there. It has examples of how to deal with input etc. (jump and run etc) . If you take the functionality of say the third person controller (Ethan) and drop it into the OVR player controller then you get an animated avatar.

Its pretty easy to setup

I have a custom player controller that inherits from the OVR controller (tho I had to make a lot of the protected attributes public to share them ...is that the correct way to do it..I wish I could inherit without modifying the origin OVR script). I overload some of the functions to suit my requirements. In particular the movement and input ones.

If you are starting from a different character package it may be more difficult. I guess you can jsut add the OVR camera rig (that comes with OVR manager attached usually) Then you can start calling OVR.input
