Week 45 - Working on our final assignment

Image
    Working on our final assignment Week 45 This week we met again on Friday to continue on the project. We started with implementing the broom. We found a nice asset for it and put it into our project. As we tried to implement the grabbing of the broom with the VR hands, we had some issues where the broom was always off.  Since we wanted to use the grabbing script from our previous project because it was working well, we thought this would be the case as well. But we were wrong. So after a few hours of frustration, we decided to put the knife into our Harry Potter game and test it. The grabbing of the knife works well and we didn't know where we are messing up with the positioning of the broom. Then we got a brilliant idea to put the knife as a child object of the broom, position the knife handle where we want the hand to be placed on the broom, and get the right position values. Eventually, we removed and the knife itself and made the broom work. Authors: Patrik Horny, ...

Week 40 - VR assignment week 1

Image
  Week 40 VR assignment This week was the lab hours days where all of us met and tried to come up with an idea for the VR assignment. On the previous presentation we've been introduced to some techniques that we can explore when developing our VR project. We settled with the mechanic of grabbing objects because we thought it is interesting and that it could be fun. Then the idea about a game where we throw stuff on targets came up. The concept of the game is following: the player has a variety of weapons to choose from as well as targets to hit. And that's about it. The very first thing we wanted to implement was to grab the object. We implemented it in way that we made an empty object on the handle of the knife. If the hand is nearby and player clicks the bottom button of the controller, the object is grabbed. Then we started working on the hit point of the knife. Again, we made an empty child object of the knife that acts as a trigger. If the tip of knife hits the wall, we se...
