Vrtk: Best way to trigger script when object is grabbed

[wheatgrinder]

what is the best way to trigger my own script attached to an object when it is grabbed. The object has the VRTK_Interactable Object script attached and all that functionality works.

Thanks

[wheatgrinder]

A bit more research on my own would have figured it out.
code here for others reference..

using UnityEngine;
using VRTK;
using System.Collections;

public class Team3_Interactable_Object_Extension : MonoBehaviour {

    // this script demonstrates how to detect when this object has been grabbed by a controller.  

    // it requires the object already have the VRTK_InteractableObject attached.  

    // it simpley subscribes to the event generated by the interactable object script.  

    // there are many more events to subscribe to so lots of interaction options are posible. 



    // use this script to ADD functionality to your object not provied by the VRTK scripts.

    // this could include triggering other actions based, etc. 

    // a full list of events can be found in the interactable object script.







    // Use this for initialization

    void Start ()

    {



        //make sure the object has the VRTK script attached... 

        if (GetComponent<VRTK_InteractableObject>() == null)

        {

            Debug.LogError("Team3_Interactable_Object_Extension is required to be attached to an Object that has the VRTK_InteractableObject script attached to it");

            return;

        }



        //subscribe to the event.  NOTE: the "ObectGrabbed"  this is the procedure to invoke if this objectis grabbed.. 

        GetComponent<VRTK_InteractableObject>().InteractableObjectGrabbed += new InteractableObjectEventHandler(ObjectGrabbed);





    }



    //this object has been grabbed.. so do what ever is in the code.. 

    private void ObjectGrabbed(object sender, InteractableObjectEventArgs e)

    {

        Debug.Log("Im Grabbed");

    }

}

Newbie here, how would I use the sender object to give me the rotation of the controller?

I'm trying to do this once on pick up:
grabbedObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(controllerX, controllerY, controllerZ);

To simulate picking up a new controller.

[JP-Dorman]

Wait, I figured it out:

        controllerX = e.interactingObject.transform.rotation.x;
        controllerY = e.interactingObject.transform.rotation.y;
        controllerZ = e.interactingObject.transform.rotation.z;

        gameObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(controllerX, controllerY, controllerZ);

But this seems to be knocking the object out of my hand when it rotates?

@JP-Dorman This is better discussed in because you can instantly get answers instead of waiting on here. It's also way easier for troubleshooting in general. GitHub issues are only useful for proper bug reports with steps to reproduce in an example scene like the Issue Template requires.

[JP-Dorman]

But if someone has a similar problem in the future, a slack conversation is impossible to google?

[thestonefox]

Then you should use stack overflow with the vrtk. All slack messages are archived but if you want a forum based conversation then use stack overflow.

The issue template describes this.

Awesome, this helped me so much understanding how to connect events to handlers
