- Basic Virtual Reality Meta XR assignment with requirements:
- Objects in the scene that can be interacted with
- A custom component that uses the Update or FixedUpdate lifecycle function
- A custom component that integrates with an Interactor Event or Collision Event
- Use of the physics system and/or collision detection
learnings
- Decided to make a punching bag that you can hit
- Could not figure out where to add collider/rigidbody to the hands with meta building blocks??? So I made a gun that shoots bullets following this tutorial lmao and then shot at the punching bag…
- grabbable cylinder for gun
- sphere for bullet
- capsule with Joint for punching bag
- Utilized Collider events - OnCollisionEnter - OnCollisionExit
- Created empty GameObject for bullet spawn point, and bullet prefab that gets Instantiate
- Each bullet uses Destroy to destroy after a set period of time
var bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, BulletSpawnPoint.position, BulletSpawnPoint.rotation);Destroy(gameObject, life);`
Useful functions
- can get GameObject by various fields such as its name or tag
collision.gameObject.name
