ControllerTooltips

Overview

This adds a collection of Object Tooltips to the Controller that give information on what the main controller buttons may do. To add the prefab, it just needs to be added as a child of the relevant controller e.g. [CameraRig]/Controller (right) would add the controller tooltips to the right controller.

If the transforms for the buttons are not provided, then the script will attempt to find the attach transforms on the default controller model in the [CameraRig] prefab.

If no text is provided for one of the elements then the tooltip for that element will be set to disabled.

There are a number of parameters that can be set on the Prefab which are provided by the SteamVR_Unity_Toolkit/Scripts/VRTK_ControllerTooltips script which is applied to the prefab.
