Rotating object with Gear/Go controller touchpad (SOLVED)

Hello, 
In Unity 2017.4 i had a script to rotate in object with the touchpad of the controller, Gear-vr and Go. I started a new project in Unity 2018.3 (oculus integration 1.34), and used te same script. But it doesn't work anymore. This is the script:







using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;



public class KE_ObjectRotation : MonoBehaviour

{



    public GameObject ObjectToRotate;

    Vector3 objRotation = new Vector3(0f, 0f, 0f);

    public float objRotationSpeed = 60f;

    // Start is called before the first frame update

    void Start()

    {

        

    }



    // Update is called once per frame

    void Update()

    {

        float TrackpadX = Input.GetAxis("Oculus_GearVr_DpadX");



        if (TrackpadX != 0f)

        {

            objRotation.y += TrackpadX * Time.deltaTime * objRotationSpeed;

            ObjectToRotate.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(objRotation);

        }

    }

}  

Anyone understanding the problem?

I'm just guessing, but I think it has to do with the way you are getting the X axis of the trackpad. Perhaps that was an old way of doing that before Oculus Go? Or maybe you have some input manager that uses that value?

When I want to get the values from the trackpad I do this:

private Vector2 touchpad;

void Update()
{
    touchpad = OVRInput.Get(OVRInput.Axis2D.PrimaryTouchpad);
    var xValue = touchpad.x; // Get the x axis of the touchpad 
}

@ Radicalappdev: thanks for te suggestion, works fine !! Thats perhaps a better, future-proof, solution. Turns out i made a mistake in the code GearVr should be GearVR, then that works to.
