Input Events on VR

[alexv]

Hi there,

I'm using NGUI on a Gear VR app with "3D World" Event Type, and was wondering if I could use the VR Camera to trigger OnHover and all other built-in ngui events.

I understand NGUI uses Input.MousePosition to check for events like Hover, but I'd like to use a fixed "center" position from vr camera instead.

there is a MousePosition provided by Gear VR , but it's used for the touchpad on the side, which does not behave like a mouse cursor at all, and I don't want to trust its values, since they don't necesary match the center of screen all the times.

any insights on this?
thanks

Yes, it's possible in NGUI 3.9.9 that's in the Pro repository right now. You can set UICamera.GetMouse / UICamera.GetTouch delegates, which by default just use Input. You can change them to be something else.

thanks for the info, I have a standard NGUI license (version 3.9.8 is the latest in there) any idea when will 3.9.9 be rolled to standard licensed people?

thanks !

I'll see about doing it this weekend (tonight or tomorrow).

Update got held up, I got side-tracked by adding dragons to Windward. You can just toss me an email to support [at] tasharen.com and request an early unity package if you like.
