Fetch ath/atv of pointing direction VR controller

With mouse and touch events it's easy to fetch clicks anywhere on the canvas and convert to ath/atv:

	Source code
1 2 3 4 5	<events name="click" keep="true" onclick="on_click()" /> <action name="on_click"> screentosphere(mouse.x,mouse.y,click_ath,click_atv); </action>

Now, I would like to do the same with VR controllers. Is that possible?

Figured it out! The following code puts a hotspot on the location the VR controller clicked.

Source code

<events name="click" keep="true" webvr_onvrcontrollerbutton="vrclick();" />
		
<action name="vrclick" scope="local">
	if(!caller.target,

		if(caller.vrbuttonstate == 'down',

			addhotspot(auto, hs);
			spacetosphere(caller.dx,caller.dy,caller.dz, hs.ath,hs.atv,depth);
			set(hs, keep=true, scale=0.01, distorted=true, enabled=false, capture=false, alpha=1, autoalpha=true, depth=off,
				onloaded='tween(alpha,0);tween(scale,.4)', url='%CURRENTXML%/graphics/click.png'
			);
			
		);

	);
</action>

Hi,

Nice you found it so quick.
Didn't use spacetosphere yet.
Thought about something like this, but didn't yet tried.
Thanks for sharing!
