W Key Press to VR Movement

[dinoman411]

Hello I am new to FreePIE and could use some help.

I basically want a script that would allow me to move forward in a free locomotion VR game when W is pressed on the keyboard. So basically W = Forward on the Vive touchpad.

I have the Hydra drivers & SDK installed and showing up/starting up with SteamVR, however beyond that I'm stuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

If the movement is mapped to the Vive touchpad (which in turn is mapped to the hydra's joystick), you could try:

Code: Select all

if keyboard.getKeyDown(Key.W):
     hydra[0].joyy = 1

Not that the treatment of the left and right controller is pretty inconsistent in SteamVR, so you could try also hydra[1]. And if you move backward instead of forward, change the value to -1.
