MRTK thumbstick input

Question

I’ve been trying to figure how to access thumb-stick input from the controller in MRTK.

I’m new to coding and the documentation was just a bit too confusing for me to figure out.

I figured out a pointer click through the onPointerClick methods however I just can’t figure the other inputs.

I’m sure it’s simple, I just need to see an example. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

You can try a script like this:

public class ThumbstickMover : InputSystemGlobalListener, IMixedRealityInputHandler<Vector2>
{
    public MixedRealityInputAction moveAction;
    public float speed = 1.0f;

    public void OnInputChanged(InputEventData<Vector2> eventData)
    {
        if (eventData.MixedRealityInputAction == moveAction)
        {
            Vector3 localDelta = speed * (Vector3)eventData.InputData;
            transform.position = transform.position + transform.rotation * localDelta;
        }
    }
}

For that to work you'll need to set as moveAction an input action that is mapped to one of the thumbsticks. Let me know if you have trouble with that.
