Buttons

Functions:

These are physics based buttons which allow the user to interact with pretty much anything. The use of the button do not themselves do anything but are simply activators for programmed responses which can occur either when the button is pressed, released or both. These buttons are used in the info panel which offers a good example of how they could be used.

Things you need:

Buttons prefab
Custom button model and collider
Colliders on your controllers (the [VRTK] prefab already has this)
Script(s) containing the desired public functions to have run when the button is pressed or released

How to use:

Add the Buttons prefab to your scene and position it
Replace the mesh and collider on Buttons/Button with your custom versions
- Adjust the Activation Percentage slider to set how pressed the button must be to be considered activated
- Increase the size of the Pressed or Released array
- Drag the scripts containing the public functions onto the Pressed and Released array
- Select the function from the drop down menu
Position the Buttons/StartPoint at the desired unpressed position of the button
Position the Buttons/EndPoint at the maximum pressed position of the button
Ensure that Buttons/Button is placed roughly between the start and end point
Everything else is automatically calculated and set via the VR Button Handler script
