The goal is to provide a more intuitive VR experience; closer to how you would play a board game IRL. This is still in development, consider it an alpha test! To enable the new control scheme type -vr_controls_original
into the system console.
Various commands in the system console govern vr behaviour: type help vr
to see them. For example, turning vr_sticky_grab
on will mean you do not have to hold the trigger to maintain grip on an object; instead you press to grab, then press again to release. If you want these commands to persist then add them to your autoexec (type edit autoexec
and enter them there).
You can quickly switch between old and new controls if you do something like bind right_control !vr_controls_original
(...you can then hit right control to toggle)
