How do I show or hide the controller pointer?

The WaveVR controller pointer is created by WaveVR_ControllerPointer.cs and is shown by default. You can choose to show or hide the pointer in runtime.

Note: WaveVR EventSystem is not affected even if the pointer is hidden.

Go to Show or hide the controller pointer (sample code) to learn how to show or hide the controller pointer.

Show or hide the controller pointer (sample code)

Follow the steps below to to show or hide the controller pointer.

Add the following code to get the controller instances.

private GameObject dominantController = null, nonDominantController = null;
void OnEnable()
{
    WaveVR_Utils.Event.Listen (WaveVR_Utils.Event.CONTROLLER_MODEL_LOADED, OnControllerLoaded);
}

void OnControllerLoaded(params object[] args)
{
    WaveVR_Controller.EDeviceType _type = (WaveVR_Controller.EDeviceType)args [0];
    if (_type == WaveVR_Controller.EDeviceType.Dominant)
    {
        this.dominantController = (GameObject)args [1];
    }
    if (_type == WaveVR_Controller.EDeviceType.NonDominant)
    {
        this.nonDominantController = (GameObject)args [1];
    }
}

void OnDisable()
{
    WaveVR_Utils.Event.Remove (WaveVR_Utils.Event.CONTROLLER_MODEL_LOADED, OnControllerLoaded);
}

Assuming there are 2 functions, ShowPointer and HidePointer, use the following code.

public void ShowPointer()
{
    WaveVR_ControllerPointer _cp = null;
    if (this.dominantController != null)
    {
        _cp = this.dominantController.GetComponentInChildren<WaveVR_ControllerPointer> ();
        if (_cp != null)
        {
            _cp.ShowPointer = true;
        }
    }
    if (this.nonDominantController != null)
    {
        _cp = this.nonDominantController.GetComponentInChildren<WaveVR_ControllerPointer> ();
        if (_cp != null)
        {
            _cp.ShowPointer = true;
        }
    }
}

public void HidePointer()
{
    WaveVR_ControllerPointer _cp = null;
    if (this.dominantController != null)
    {
        _cp = this.dominantController.GetComponentInChildren<WaveVR_ControllerPointer> ();
        if (_cp != null)
        {
            _cp.ShowPointer = false;
        }
    }
    if (this.nonDominantController != null)
    {
        _cp = this.nonDominantController.GetComponentInChildren<WaveVR_ControllerPointer> ();
        if (_cp != null)
        {
            _cp.ShowPointer = false;
        }
    }
}
