Properties

Acceleration

Gravity of the projectile in the reference frame.

Declaration
public float Acceleration { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

AdditionalFlightTime

Additional flight time after the projectile lands at the same height of the start point in the tracking space. Increase this value will make the end point drop lower in height.

Declaration
public float AdditionalFlightTime { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

Angle

Gets the signed angle between the controller's forward direction and the tracking space.

Declaration
public float Angle { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

controlPointDistance

Increase this value will make the peak of the curve further from the start point.

Declaration
public float controlPointDistance { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

controlPointHeight

Increase this value will make the peak of the curve higher relative to the start point.

Declaration
public float controlPointHeight { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

endPointDistance

Increase this value distance will make the end of curve further from the start point.

Declaration
public float endPointDistance { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

endPointHeight

Decrease this value will make the end of the curve drop lower relative to the start point.

Declaration
public float endPointHeight { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

hitDetectionType

Sets which type of hit detection to use for the raycast.

Declaration
public XRRayInteractor.HitDetectionType hitDetectionType { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
XRRayInteractor.HitDetectionType

hoverTimeToSelect

Gets or sets the number of seconds for which this interactor must hover over an object to select it if Hover To Select is enabled.

Declaration
public float hoverTimeToSelect { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

hoverToSelect

Gets or sets whether this uses hovering for a time period to select the interactable being hovered.

Declaration
public bool hoverToSelect { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Boolean

lineType

Gets or sets the type of ray cast.

Declaration
public XRRayInteractor.LineType lineType { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
XRRayInteractor.LineType

maxRaycastDistance

Gets or sets the max distance of ray cast. Increase this value will let you reach further.

Declaration
public float maxRaycastDistance { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

raycastMask

Gets or sets layer mask used for limiting raycast targets.

Declaration
public LayerMask raycastMask { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
LayerMask

raycastTriggerInteraction

Gets or sets type of interaction with trigger volumes via raycast.

Declaration
public QueryTriggerInteraction raycastTriggerInteraction { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
QueryTriggerInteraction

referenceFrame

Gets or sets the reference frame of the projectile. If not set it will try to find the XRRig object, if the XRRig does not exist it will use self. ///

Declaration
public Transform referenceFrame { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Transform

sampleFrequency

Gets or sets the number of sample points of the curve, should be at least 3, the higher the better quality.

Declaration
public int sampleFrequency { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Int32

sphereCastRadius

Gets or sets radius used for spherecasting. Will use regular raycasting if set to 0.0f or less.

Declaration
public float sphereCastRadius { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

Velocity

Initial velocity of the projectile. Increase this value will make the curve reach further.

Declaration
public float Velocity { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

Methods

CanHover(XRBaseInteractable)

Determines if the interactable is valid for hover this frame.

Declaration
public override bool CanHover(XRBaseInteractable interactable)
Parameters
Type Name Description
XRBaseInteractable interactable

Interactable to check.
Returns
Type Description
Boolean

true if the interactable can be hovered over this frame.
Overrides

CanSelect(XRBaseInteractable)

Determines if the interactable is valid for selection this frame.

Declaration
public override bool CanSelect(XRBaseInteractable interactable)
Parameters
Type Name Description
XRBaseInteractable interactable

Interactable to check.
Returns
Type Description
Boolean

true if the interactable can be selected this frame.
Overrides

GetCurrentRaycastHit(out RaycastHit)

This function will return the first raycast result, if any raycast results are available.

Declaration
public bool GetCurrentRaycastHit(out RaycastHit raycastHit)
Parameters
Type Name Description
