I am trying to use ork 3 in a vr game .Has anyone found a way to make a different ui for this

Wrofir

There is a VR framework on the asset store that comes with a lot of very useful features (including VR UI) that will help you make a VR game, and using the event system it comes with you can tie it to Ork.

You can use canvas prefabs in UI > UI Layers to create special canvas setups for an UI layer. The event system used by ORK/Makinom can also optionally use a prefab (or not create one at all), that's set up in UI > UI System.

Thank you ,that got me started in the right direction.I now have a menue displaying in world view,but there is a default canvas that is also trying to render but it is not in world view. I cant seem to find where the seting is so i can change it. My canvas is on layer 1 and both renders and is interactable

gamingislove

A default UI layer (canvas) is created automatically as a fallback (e.g. if a UI box or HUD didn't define which layer they go on). I don't think there's currently a prefab setup for that - I'll look into it.

Edit: Next update will remove the _default canvas (which has no setup) and use the first UI layer as the default layer.

Thank you ,so far every thing else seems to be working

ORK 3.5 is already available, including the change I talked about.

Things Are going Fine Until wanted to do damage since this is VR I wont be using attack actions or selection of enemy I will use the weapon that I pick up in the game to attack with. I cant seem to figure out how to keep a damage dealer on so that when I hit the enemy damage takes place How would I go about doing this

Thanks

gamingislove

Try using environmental damage dealers.

simmcw

I found that trigger machines work nicely to deal damage, But I am now having trouble spawning a fireball on child object the path to child object should be (Robot/Weapon/BulletSpawn) apparently I am entering it wrong but I cant see how, I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks

gamingislove

If Robot is the name of your game object's root, you need to omit that, so Weapon/BulletSpawn would be the correct path.

Thank You

I am having problems with the menu ,the start menu works fine but after the game is running if I call a menu I no longer have a pointer I have been stuck on this for a few days

gamingislove

Not sure how the pointer is handled in VR - if it's similar to the regular mouse cursor in Unity, there are ways to lock/unlock and show/hide the cursor.

E.g. schematics have Change Cursor State and Change Cursor Visible nodes to manage that for the mouse cursor. If VR uses the same functionality, you could add an open schematic to your menu to show/unlock the cursor and a close schematic to lock/hide it again.

I believe the problem is that outside the start scene the event camera is not defined

gamingislove

I'm not really familiar with VR - how's that event camera defined? Shouldn't be too hard to do that for other scenes as well.

E.g. if it's part of the UI/canvas - you can have the camera as part of a canvas prefab used by a UI layer.

simmcw

The world camera is part of the canvas and the canvas by default will use the main camera. But for some reason a canvas spawned by orc will not. I wrote a script to set the world camera at runtime and attached to the canvas but as of yet haven't got it to work

gamingislove

Are you using canvas prefabs in your UI layers to create the canvases? If the canvas prefab is set up correctly (using the camera form the canvas) that should work.

Otherwise ORK will create one based on the settings in UI > UI System, where you can e.g. set to use screen space cameras and define if the main camera should be used or find one in your scene (e.g. by name or tag).

simmcw

I Am using prefabs for my layers and I was able to write a script that sets sets the world camera. But there is still something blocking my interaction

gamingislove

If by interaction you mean a click/interaction on a UI, there's most likely something in the way that intercepts the raycast, e.g. something on a higher UI layer.

You can check that when pausing the game and looking at your canvases in the scene hierarchy. If some other UI is in the way (even when not displaying something) it can intercept the raycast.
