Title: Is Playmaker viable for VR? [SOLVED]
Post by: Rush_Maverick on November 20, 2019, 05:10:14 AM

Hey!
I am currently working on a VR game where I was planning on using Playmaker to streamline the creation of narrative events.
Is Playmaker viable for VR? Is it going to cause problems if I am planning on launching the game for the Quest and/or Playstation VR? Are there any obstacles or drawbacks I should be considering?

Playmaker has little to do with the genre of the game. It’s a tool to help with scripting and to easily use state machine logic (which it turns out is very useful for games). The actions are mini-scripts in C#.

I can only answer this in general terms, as I don’t know if VR somehow has important differences to other games. I assume it uses the same Unity components as every other game made in Unity.

Hi,

 PlayMaker can work for VR, as thore said, it's agnostic to the final product itself, it's only a way to program and create interactivity without having to learn c#.

PlayMaker will work on Quest and all builds that Unity can produce basically.

Bye,

I'm using it along with VRTK 3.3 and DumbGameDev's awesome actions!
