Hi there I got a big problem!

I’m currently working on my master degree.  My main subject is the narrative environment in a vr setting.

I won’t give you all the technical details because I would need around 40 pages, but let say I make a game about Superman.  Instead of teleporting (because I want to let the player explore the environment), I would like to allow him to fly.  When he presses the center boutton of the Vive Controller, I want him to fly in the direction of the controller.  Then, if he release this boutton, I woul like him to fall down to the ground.

Up to now, I have two problems :

  1. I’m able to make the player go up, but I can’t make him fly in a specific direction.
  2. I can’t figure out how to make him fall back to the ground.

​​​​​​​Please, help me, I’m really struggling on this one!  :-S

Hi Blademaster! Sory for the late answer, but real life have been complicated lately!

First of all, thank you very much for your answer! Do you, by any chance, have a video of the result? I don’t have access to my vuve actually!
