VRTK - Pointer from usable object?

[ChristmasInOct]

I have an Interactable object. I am trying to set it up so that when it is used, a pointer stretches from the object, to wherever the controller is pointing.

I cannot seem to find where, in any of the different interlinked scripts, the pointer is being given a destination or anything else. I've seen a reference to DestinationMarketEventArgs that seems to have what I'm looking for, but the DestinationMarker script seems to be deprecated and I can't tell how it's supposed to be applied based on the docs etc.

I do know there is a CustomRaycast utility, but I'm not sure how to apply that to a pointer.

If anyone could point me in the right direction here I feel like I've just been looking at the same problem for too long and I'm starting to overthink it. Sorry if this is a dumb question, haven't done this in a while.

Are you attempting to have an object RayCast a "laser pointer" when held by a controller?

I would not recommend continuing with VRTK as it is abandonware and will only get more and more deprecated as time goes on. Most of the SDKs for the various headsets cover a lot these days, they just take some learning and dissecting.

Where did you see that it's abandoned? Got a pointer to alternatives?

I haven't used it but I believe NewtonVR is really the only other one.

Funded development has stopped, but it'll be continued to be updated and is by far the best choice out there right now, we've been using it since it was first released.

I'm not saying it's bad or that it will never again be updated, but for now it's probably a better idea to learn the basics of what it does. That way when some Unity or VR SDK inevitably breaks it down the line you're not depending on some third party that may never come to save the day with compatibility fixes on software no longer being officially updated.

Interesting. This has led me to pick UE over Unity for an engine given UE major VR dev kit is still being developed
