VRTK_SlingshotJump

Overview

Provides the ability for the SDK Camera Rig to be thrown around with a jumping motion by slingshotting based on the pull back of each valid controller.

Required Components:

• VRTK_PlayerClimb - A Player Climb script for dealing with the physical throwing of the play area as if throwing off an invisible climbed object.
• VRTK_BodyPhysics - A Body Physics script to deal with the effects of physics and gravity on the play area.

Optional Components:

• VRTK_BasicTeleport - A Teleporter script to use when snapping the play area to the nearest floor when releasing from grab.
• VRTK_HeadsetCollision - A Headset Collision script to determine when the headset is colliding with geometry to know when to reset to a valid location.
• VRTK_PositionRewind - A Position Rewind script to utilise when resetting to a valid location upon ungrabbing whilst colliding with geometry.

Script Usage:

• Place the VRTK_SlingshotJump script on the same GameObject as the VRTK_PlayerClimb script.

Inspector Parameters

• Release Window Time: How close together the button releases have to be to initiate a jump.
• Velocity Multiplier: Multiplier that increases the jump strength.
• Velocity Max: The maximum velocity a jump can be.

Class Events

• SlingshotJumped - Emitted when a slingshot jump occurs

Unity Events

Adding the VRTK_SlingshotJump_UnityEvents component to VRTK_SlingshotJump object allows access to UnityEvents that will react identically to the Class Events.

• All C# delegate events are mapped to a Unity Event with the On prefix. e.g. MyEvent -> OnMyEvent.
